Thinking of You

I can't believe you actually like this kind of music. It's so out there, not mainstream at all, but I guess it kind of fits. You were never an average guy, and let's face it, everyone always thought you were totally off your rocker. Hell, they still sort of do, but for different reasons.

I found this CD when I was getting my groceries this afternoon, and thought of you. I bought it for you before I remembered, and now I can't find it in me to take it back. I don't even like it, but you'd like this song. It's just...you. And when I listen to it, sometimes I can fool myself into thinking that maybe you're nearby, watching out for me. That you still care about us, keeping tabs on your mortal friends.

We must seem so fragile to you now. I still can't quite grasp the fact that you're actually out there, exploring the universe from a whole new perspective that I can't even imagine, totally free from your shackles of flesh and bone. You've been through so much, and it's almost comforting to know that you can never be hurt again.
