Dear Max,
Tonight I couldn't sleep at all
So instead I read... ate... smoked...
Like banging my head against a wall
Until upon my tears I choked
A song played on the radio
You know the song, One Sweet Day
"I know you're shining down on me
from Heaven," is what the words say
Are you Max? Are you up there?
I looked for you in the deep, dark sky
Tonight, as I sat beneath the stars
All alone, my tears and I
Why is it so Max? WHY IS IT SO?
This truth which, from now on, always will be
That we are all here but you are all gone
That life is much harder but death so easy
...Another song played on the radio
"I'll try to love again but baby I know
the first cut is the deepest" and you
Have cut me so deep I don't know what to do
I don't want to keep growing older without you
I don't want to fall in love when you can't
But I know I must savour the flavour of living
I just don't want to forget you. I promise, I shan't

Rose you have written some powerful stuff about Max but this one really hits home. I can feel your pain all too well and go through the same cycle of questions, acceptance, resignation, and then the realisation that all we can do is remember. see you soon.x Ize
