A week later Damen was at his grandpa's funeral. He stood facing everyone who was silently waiting for him to speak. He didn't think it would hard but it was. He could barely make a sound and his eyes burned from holding back tears.
"So... um... I was asked to speak but I can't really say anything about my grandpa. All the memories I have of him I don't want to share. So... I'm going to sing instead."
He walked over to the side and picked up an acoustic guitar. He carried the guitar and a stool back to where he was standing. He sat down and softly started to play.
Hey there now - Where'd you go? - You left me here - So unexpected - You changed my life - I hope you know - Cause now I'm lost - So unprotected
In the blink of an eye - I never got to say goodbye
Like a shooting star - Flying across the room - So fast, so far - You were gone too soon - You're a part of me - And I'll never be the same - Here without you - You were gone too soon
You were always there - Like a shining light - On my darkest days - You were there to guide me - Oh I miss you now - I wish you could see - Just how much your memory - Will always mean to me
In the blink of an eye - I never got to say goodbye
Like a shooting star - Flying across the room - So fast, so far - You were gone too soon - You're a part of me - And I'll never be the same - Here without you - You were gone too soon
Shine on - Shine on - Onto a better place - Shine on - Shine on - We'll never be the same - Shine, shine
Like a shooting star - Flying across the room - So fast, so far - You were gone too soon - You're a part of me - And I'll never be the same - Here without you
Shine one - Shine on - You were gone too soon - Shine on - Shine on - You were gone too soon - Shine on - Shine on
You were gone too soon
"I'll miss you....."
Damen sat the guitar down and almost ran from the room as he wiped away his tears.
