Dear (Fill Your Name in Here),

As I stand here preparing myself to walk through 30’s door

I decided to make a list of things I would rewind time for

So here goes nothing…

I miss real music, I hate all this buffoonery

We need to change the game up, get way from al this coonery

I miss my real friends; past, present, and the ones to come

You’ve been there through it all so you know where I’m coming from

I miss love, the kind of love that leads to “I do”

It’s been absent for a while, but I think I found it a time or two

I really miss my smile, it feels like its been gone forever

I’m amazed that I continue to survive the stormy weather

I miss my cousin Shaun, we were always around each other

He was my little brother fore I had a little brother

I miss my boy Lil Phil, we was always wildin’ out

He had me rapping about tattoos before I had one to write about

I miss Princess Dyana and I miss her in a major way

She’s the only person alive that could check me on my birthday

There are certain times when I miss a certain city

I guess STL remains embedded in my left titty

But most of all, I really miss him

If you know me, you know who I’m referring to

He’s the only one I know I can talk to about what I’m going through

I’ll end this letter now because the tears are coming fast and hard

No elaborate goodbyes, just know you’re forever in my heart

Sincerely Yours,

You Know Who

PS:

I know my rhyme pattern is all over the place in this piece. That’s because its pure emotion. I just wanted to let the people that are and have been in my life know how much they mean and have meant to me. I love, have loved, or have the possibility to love each and every one of you. In your own way, you’ve helped to make me the man I am today and the man I will become in the future. Peace and love
