The moment that you died our hearts were torn into,
one side filled with heartache, the other side died with you.
We often lie awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and
take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon our cheeks, Remembering you is easy, we do it everyday,
but missing you is heartache that never goes away. We will hold you tightly within our hearts and there you will remain.
Uniil thatjoyous day arrive, that we meet again. With Love, James and Terrance
