Not sure what to say to a card-carrying agnostic other than I always loved you and will forever love and cherish everything you and Heather ever gave to me when I needed it the absolute most. I'm so sorry, Greg, I just feel this loss so deeply that I can't summon the words to tell you how much I miss you, so I resort to the words of somebody else...and as much as I know how much unoriginality always pissed you off, please know the words are nonetheless from my heart. I will remember you always.

Came in from a rainy thursday on the avenue Thought I heard you talking softly I turned on the lights, the tv, and the radio Still I can't escape the ghost of you What has happened to it all? Crazy, some would say, Where is the life that I recognize? Gone away... But I won't cry for yesterday, there's an ordinary world, Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way, to the ordinary world I will learn to survive Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say Pride will tear us both apart Well now prides gone out the window cross the rooftops, run away Left me in the vacuum of my heart What is happening to me? Crazy, some would say Where is my friend when I need you most? Gone away... But I won't cry for yesterday, there's an ordinary world, Somehow I have to find And as I try to make my way, to the ordinary world... I will learn to survive Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed Here today, forgot tomorrow Ooh, here besides the news of holy war and holy need Ours is just a little sorrowed talk Every world, is my world...I will learn to survive Any world, is my world ...I will learn to survive |
Goddamn, I just remember all those arguments at your house, on your back deck when everybody but me was tanked up on wine and beer, my self-righteous bullshit and your insistence on the merits of your atheism. I remember the way you gave me shit, and honestly it made me feel little back then, but then you explained a few years later how you respected me...damn you have no idea what respect from somebody like you meant to me.
Just don't know what else to say, so I'll close with my love and regard and respect.
