MEMORIES

A father's touch, a mother's kiss,

A grieving friend, you're greatly missed.

A empty house, a empty bed,

A friend's love, always there.

A broken heart, tear filled eye,

Another soul to fill the sky.

Many memories in my mind,

Some I laugh, some I cry.

The times we shared, the laughs we had,

Things I miss when I think of you - Chris.

Realizing that's all I have to hold on too,

Only memories .... of what was once you.

Missing your laugh, missing your smile,

Never again will I hear.

That is the reality that fills me with such fear.

The last hug, the last laugh,

The last 'good-bye' leaves me with one last wish ...

To have you Chris, here today,

Never to leave your family and friends this way.

A father's touch, a mother's kiss,

A grieving friend, you're GREATLY MISSED !!

Thinking about you every single day, your always in my thoughts in every way. Thinking about the times we laughed in your car, and the endless giggles on road trips a far. I can hear your voice, saying 'loooke love' n 'young n hung' so, so clear just like 'fucking right, doggy'. In my heart you will always be, you were my best friend, my hero, always just you n me. Getting ready for nights out, turning up in the same pink jumper, that's what we we're about! I miss you so much, it is untrue, how much you could love a person, look up to a person, be inspired by a person, n that was you. I wish you could know how much you mean to me, what i wouldn't do for you to see, how everyday i'm keeping you with me. From raving on the VIP tables to mr brightside, or flybys past tasha's in your gorgeous black ride. And now a year on, i cant believe where it has gone. The truth is Blacky i'm lost without you, like my brother, my best friend, always and forever.

All these pieces are broken up

And I try to pick these pieces up.

I put them together,

A heart, a face -

Your smile, in grace.

If I throw these pieces into the sky,

You could look down on everyone

As time passes by.

If I could say the words

The way I see you .....

I only know I have an angel here with me now.

                                  For Chris, love Tal-lu x

DAYS LIKE THESE

We were thinking about Bono's words to Kite,

dedicated to his Dad, having watched the DVD

from Slane Castle ....

It's the songs, Chris, they really hurt all of us

who know and love you;

music, lyric, but most of all ....memories.

If you weren't so special,

we wouldn't think to stop and smile at 'Mr Brightside',

but we do -

especially today, 30.05.2007,

we smile through our tears.

Take aim and fly, boy -

the breeze is yours.

THINGS I'VE SEEN ...

Dignity, when the world is crashing down.

Such love for you, even though you're not around.

Selfless ways, given from the heart.

Beauty in their gestures,

Though their world is blown apart.

The things I've seen, the things I know,

The light that shines in a place called 'home'.

In my eyes you're tall, a fine young man,

Because of who they are - your Dad and Mam.

Sweet Chris, I miss and love you so,

Just how much, I'm sure you know.

I take my courage and sweet belief,

In a different world of love and peace.

This is not the end, but the very start

And until we all meet again, Chris .....

You're with us, always.
