No matter how lonely I would become there was Lyle.
I would call him and reach out to him to find him there.
It was a time of joy and wonderful things we both shared.
There was a feeling of conquering the world after speaking with him.
He built me up and let me see the other side of how things were.
Lyle is someone I was able to depend.
There was stability within his words and the things he did.
A man yes but what a man he was to all those who knew him.
I am elated and delighted he was there for me.
Today he is sorely missed for he is gone but never forgotten.
Within my mind and heart he is very much alive and will remain as long as I have breath within me.
There is no one who can tell me any differently that Lyle doesn't exists for I know he does.
I truly and deeply cared about him and remain to be the same today.
