Crystal's Song

(Unfinished)

When I was a young man...
barely nineteen...
I met a brown eyed angel,
a little younger than me.
Her name was Crystal Rae, and she had beautiful hair...
She smiled at me one day, and my heart pounded when she was near.
We were together off and on for a year,
She left...
My heart fluttered,
My jaw stuttered,
My wrist bled.

I thought we would be together forever.
A year of tribulations passed.
I think the trials outnumbered the smiles.
I gave her my love...
I gave her all I had.
She took it all, and left me to fall...
bottom never hit.
Still...
My love for her lasts.

Old friends found,
New friends lost.
Best friends kept,
no matter what the cost.
She is gone...
I am forever sad.
No one to hold,
No love to call my own
Where could my sweet Crystal Rae be?
Why aren't you here to hold me?
Fallen from heaven like tears from my eyes...

Lady, you were a good friend of mine.
I miss you Sweet Crystal Rae...
I miss you every day.
