Johnny Joe Gonzales

It's just another day sitting in the rain, wondering why life always has to change.  
If I could turn these hands of time, I'd set them back to when it was just the two of us drinking crown and getting high.  
But those days were years ago. Sadly now I'm here trying to piece back this broken soul.  
I know it's not your fault that you passed away, but I do miss the encouraging words that you use to say.  
Like keep your head up and never change.  
Fuck'em all and look towards the brighter days.  
I still have your words ringing in my ears, but I no longer have your shoulder to hide all my falling tears.  
It's not fear that I have to walk this path, but that you're no longer here and I've got to except that fact.  
It sure gets cold walking all alone. Especially since I can't just reach out and call your phone.  
All I've got now are your past Facebook messages, and the memories of Thanksgiving counting our blessings.
