These letters express exactly how I've felt. I'm actually crying typing this. Though I've been trying my best not to cry too much but I just can't help it. I've never cried for anyone as much as I have for Michael. He has truly touched and changed lives, including yours and mine I believe. Honestly, after 2 years, I'm still in shock and I know I'll never get over it.
Ok, I think I should stop here. Thank you so very very much for putting all this together. I wish I knew this project sooner so I could participate. And although I rarely talk to you since I'm a very shy person, even online, I've always admired you for your graphics and your words. Thank you again. Much love. :)
I’m so happy that all of the love touched you. I’m with you, I’ll never be over it, but I’ll live, knowing that people like you are out there. I never feel completely alone, is what I mean. It was my pleasure to put this together, Michael deserved it. And thank you so much for your words about me and the things I share, that means a lot to me. Don’t be shy! I say that, but I am too. Not as much online because I don’t have to actually speak, lol. Much love back to you!
It’s not awkward at all, I promise. It’s actually very, very sweet and much appreciated. I knew I wasn’t alone, I knew someone out there had to feel the same way I do. Thanks for even taking the time to read it. Much love to you!
“REIGN ON”
the day he left, ascended, and floated to Heaven above…
the world went cold, so dark, despite an outpouring of love.
any traces of happiness that once were mine, out of sight
tears, abundant and full of pain, flowed all through the night..
he saw our grief, took his place next to the creator, sat on his throne…
the news too much, devastation, mourning, shock, we all felt alone…
it wasn’t true, we said, refused to accept that our king had gone home…
the reality set in, undeniable, we cried an ocean as life and time marched on…
he said it best, spoke these words… love survives, so we can rock forever..
it hurt to see us suffering, the agony stayed on, but alas it brought us together…
roamed the darkness alone for far too long, until I saw the brightest light…
found my ballerinas, like puzzle pieces, we came together just right…
too good to be true? i thought so, but eventually, was I proved so wrong..
these ladies, my sisters, best friends, loved him just the same all along…
my only regret, not discovering my treasures sooner, but grateful all the same…
we joined hands, marched through the rain, all the while shouting his name..
for this, michael, i extend my deepest, truest, most eternal gratitude…
along with them, you came along and changed my psyche, my attitude…
no longer will i take life for granted, no longer will my lips curve into a frown…
for here on Earth, we will forever celebrate you, forever hold you down…
our love for you, the most profound, lucky to see the beautiful, wonderful you…
we will never allow there to be an end to your legacy and all that wanted to do..
never will a foul word against you go unnoticed, stop ignorance in its place …
live on, reign on, our king, until we too ascend above, greeted by your smiling face…
