I am confused by life, but I feel safe within the confines of the theater.


From the moment I wake up to the time I go to sleep, you are in my head. 

The food I eat

The places I visit

My memories

Everwhere I Go

 

My thoughts drift to you

To the clothes you wore

The way you talked 

The way you laughed

Everywhere I go

 

The sizzle of eggs in a greased pan takes me back to early morning breakfasts spent watching the morning news

The coffee pot worn from overuse sits in a corner, gathering dust

A remembrance

Everwhere I Go

 

Music was your life

Words were your world

Days spent listening to the Beatles or Bruce Springsteen in your coffee stained truck smelling of victories on a soccer field

Everwhere I Go

 

Everwhere I go

I see your face

I smile from your memory

 

I get in bed

Closing my eyes, thinking of the person you were

The person you made me be

You never enter my dreams, but your face awaits me in the morning

A friendly face in a scary and exciting world

Everywhere I Go

Four and a half years ago, my father left my life forever. He never left my heart and my mind.
