Today I watched the sun rise, And thought of you and me. All the hopes, the dreams, and plans we shared, No longer meant to be. What happened to the good times? Where did they go – slip through the cracks, Or did they hop aboard that one-way train, That never circles back. We built a life together, The way most couples do – But your memories of me faded, And there was nothing I could do.   Missing you forever, T.J, D.A and Pearl
