Hey there! How's it going? So, are you making it to Nashville for the Amos Lee show? I might make it out there. I'm going to see him in Asheville.
Hey, you know Jordan lives in Nashville now, right?

See you tomorrow, my friend.

PART three
AN13 AN14

Someone took what they wanted from you and stripped your pride
I could sense it during conversations long before I heard you sing it
Though our talks haven't been numerous, and mostly brief with a long engagement thrown in here of there
I really do feel like you've revealed something deep and intimate about yourself
I'm not trying to claim an everlasting friendship, its probably just your personality

You have a kind smile and a voice that is pleasing to listen to
your stories have some tears, but there are many more that recall never ending laughs
still, the hurt shines through, barely in the passive voice, hidden by your recently found joy
The way you find truth in my poem that looks on love in a brutal light, showing it for what it really is
(everything you desire, an everlasting bliss and ecstasy, and just a passing phase in life that will soon be forgotten about - depending on what lover you are)

I am glad you are no longer chasing a dream of someone else, living in a shadow of someone else
I met you after those days, and I really enjoy this you who does have something to say

Now you have finished setting up and its time for your two songs
I hope the fist is the one in which you let everyone hear that bitter warning
"the warmth of the sun doesn't always last"
I know that to be true friend, trust me I really honestly do
I just hope that you aren't being optimistic
I hope that the suns warmth actually does come
Then for your second, sing that song that is older then both of us combines
I know change is gonna come, it always does, but tonight I hope its for the better

I'm actually mistaken for a Britney quite a lot...or a Stephanie...

I've come to the conclusion that i can pass for a Britney or Stephanie or i have problems enunciating?

Oh and it was great meeting you, Mike.
