Card 01 - 2001, Mikie gave these two cards to me the night I was leaving, We were at San Luis Obispo. I think I remember.. he told me to shoo and he sat in the car for a moment then came out and gave me this little yellow envelope with the cards in it... Really sweet.

Leaving, Ticket 01 - My ticket from 2001 when I was leaving for back home.
Leaving, Ticket 02 - My ticket from 2002 when I was leaving California, I would've had my ticket from 2002 when I was GOING to California but if I remember correctly the Bus Driver took my Transfer ticket AND the Receipt & Itinerary.
Going, Ticket 03 - My ticket from 2003 when I was going to visit him again.
Leaving, Ticket 03 - And my ticket from 2003 when I was going back home to Colorado.
And so, I think that is all for now, I would've scanned more pictures of my beloved Mikie but My scanner just wouldn't cooperate with me any longer. These are my memories, mementos, I'll hold onto them forever. I leave you with a poem I wrote a long while back.
-
Though I sing my heartache
I must appologize for every mistake I make
The ones I made
Everything I said
The games I played
Lay the ghosts down to rest
I'm done playing
I'll give it my best now
One shot
You're all I got
I'm never giving in, never letting go
I want you to know
I'm here for you
Forever
Never turn my shoulder
As the days pass and we get older
You'll someday find that you're always in my heart
Always on my mind
I'll smile, even if I don't feel like it
I'll do it for you
I'll be happy, if it makes you feel the same
Love may be a game
But win or lose I can't complain
I'm glad you came into my life either way
Though I'd be happier to see you stay
Though you're slipping through my arms
I'll stay anyway if I can protect you from any harm
You saved me
We loved
We drove eachother crazy
And now through a vision, hazy
I'll stay in this storm
Blind
I will not run
Until I find you
Your troubles pain me
But plainly
Clear to see
I will love you for all eternity
The world is what you mean to me
and I'd give my life for your safety
Whenever you feel empty
Think of me please
When you've fallen to your knees
Think of me please
I support you
Think of me please
I hope my smile will put you at ease
It pains me
To see you this way
But everyday I'll love you anyway
Forever, I'm here to stay.
