I never thought I'd miss our balcony in Midtown as much.
As dancing in boots in a small town in Ireland.
As waking up to the messiest tacos and faces.

To so many cigarettes, and so many stares.
To so many mornings and so many conversations.
And so many times I knew I loved you.

Through those drives,
and walks, and beers,
and fires, and banjos,
and your beautiful face.

To how many steps we've taken away,
and how many thoughts bring me right back.
To those houses,
to those tables.
And to those moments,
that stay with me everyday.

I miss you so much.
My best friend.
