All other faces melt away.

Your arms held me many times.

It was just that last time that I missed the most.

I almost forgot the escapade in the rain.

From S. Denver back to Caraway.

Everything changed after May 2011.

 Spring 2012: We protested on campus.

I got a home in Colorado, and a summer job in SD.

It was a beautiful day

When I left Russellville behind...

But I keep coming back wanting to run cross-country.

And I keep missing your puzzle piece tattoo.

Have a beautiful life in the Big Apple.

Come home and see us sometime soon.

Hugs from the Sky to the Moon.

A Knight's Tale for Mrs. Knight's Advisory and RHS 2000-2003

Every time I hear Brother Andy's voice in my head,
I wonder if I blew it with someone from my past.
Was it you?
Did we have our chance before that last dance?
Senior Prom really started when Footloose came on.
Suddenly everyone was dancing, and I swear you were there!
I definitely remember playing on the inflatables
At After-Prom with you and Nate the Snake.

Now when I see your face it's older,
But you still melt my soul
And your smile makes me smile.
Every time I picture myself anywhere happy in
Russellville, you're there.

All I had to do was go looking for Green Peace.
He blows thru town every 3 years or so...
Yet you are still there.
I need help finding Boo-boo/Yogi Bear too.

When I first fell for your looks,
I wrote a poem about your hair.
I was the wind and you were the water.
You still want to go to the ocean.
I've been to the place you want to move to!
It's amazing there.

I fell for your looks,
But it's your hugs
And your voice that keep me coming back.
You're the real life hero that never takes credit for anything.
We saved as many of our friends as we could.

You were always in my dreams.
I think it was you that always got me out of my nightmares,
When all other dream warriors were spent.
It's good to have you back in my life again.
You make all the songs sound beautiful
And every day looks gorgeous,
Even when the skies are gray.

Silver and Gold and Green and White.
Red and Black and Blue by night.

For life.
