It is Michael's birthday today...

Dear Michael,

Happy birthday, I say to you
For though you are gone, it is still true
That fiftyone years ago, you were born
And made the world moonwalk, 'till our shoes were worn.

All over there's tributes, from left to right,
But this is my own, that I write on this night
People rhyme albumtitles, songs and who knows?
But I wanna use some words of my own.

You were my king, my leader, my light,
And since the age of eight, I thought that I might
Meet you one day, and see you - so strong
But now you bear a Halo, and my light is gone.

Where can I go in the darkness so black
Oh, Michael - how I wish you were back
Back in my life, back in the world as you were from the start,
But just know this - you are never gone in my heart.

But when I think back, I know you've tought me a lesson,
Through your music and your life - even the way you were dressin'!
And you've given me a guide on how to live my life,
Through your music, your light is still shining bright.

But now it is up to me, to create my own route,
To walk through my life, with no parachute,
You sang, 'You are not alone', but then why does it feel that way?
As though I am on my own, more secluded every single day.

I want you back. I miss you. I cry. I cry. I love you.

Happy birthday, Michael...
