Those We Miss

I talk to you in my dreams The girl with the purest soul You would sing to me way off key and tell me I'm so beautiful I tried to be your saving grace when you lost all control That smile upon your porcelain face, I'll never let it go Your fragile body gave up it's fight I wasn't there in time to see Fate swooped in that January night and took you away from me I got the call and rushed to you, tears filled my eyes I fell to my knees in disbelief at your morbid disguise Along the way you lost yourself Lines got crossed I had nothing left I walked away when you needed me most I can never forgive myself But tonight I'll make a toast To laughter and to tears shed To the ones we will never forget To the first kiss or the last embrace A shot of whiskey or soft linen and lace Whatever you meant to each of us Forget the lies and broken trust We will remember the good, toss out the bad Because if we could, we'd take it all back So cheers to the beers and the glasses of wine We will dry the tears one day at a time
