Ryan James Close

Stars I've seen them fall, but when they drop and die no star is lost at all... I miss you

I miss you muches and love ya to death!

One of my friends mentioned (in joking) that she would put jelly on her hamburger. It made me think about you. You used to get lots of wierd cravings, and that was one of them.

Hey Ryan, thanks for finishing some of your music before you left. It's a like you're there when we can hear you sing. Last year just before our wedding, or on our honeymoon(I don't remember) Kariss got the craving for a slurpee, then just yesterday, I think for the first time in a year, we went to circle K to get one again. Somehow you're still here...

You see, the stars come out about a half past eight,
and they all come out for Ryan.
And the sun blurts out one final phrase,
and disappears behind the sea

 

You see, the world can take what it wants from me,
but they can't stop me from crying.
The radio plays another melody
as molten memories fall from my eye.

 

And oh, the days are long and pale in comparison
to the days of our friendship,
to the good times, life left behind.

You see, we drove around sorts,
we hit record and played chords,
as we tried to figure out
quite what life was for.
You have a wall of guitars,
you had a wall of guitars,
for the melodies in your mind.

 

You see the sun comes up around a quarter past six,
and when it does it reminds me of Ryan,
because whenever he fell he would climb up again
that's my memory of his life.

It's hard to accept that you're gone
and sometimes it cripples me, but I
know that you'd just want me to keep on writing
so I'll try, so I'll try.
