 The Only Way I Can Speak

November 3rd 2001


November 3rd in 2001 is a day that has stained my memory
It was six years ago but I remember it like yesterday
The feeling I had and how it changed me
When a drunk driver took my bestfriend's life away

He was on his bike headed home with one of our other friends
The car came from out of nowhere
Impact threw mike 135 feet and instantly made his life end
The driver just drove off unaware

As Kevin tried yelling for someone to help people only seemed to stare
While Mike is lying there bleeding from the head
It seemed like forever before someone did finally care
But it was to late Mike was pronounced dead

He was my all we rarely we ever apart
We even had our hair dye the exact same
This day broke my heart
This caused me so much pain

It was the first time I knew how much loosing someone could hurt
I drank myself sick for 2 months straight
All I have now is his shirt
Drinking and Driving wasn't worth his fate

Six years and the pain still haunts my soul
But I just think of the times we spent
As long as I stay in control
Better than those 2 months went

I miss him and hope he know just how much I treasured his confidence in me
And that I love him as much as I ever did
When it's the end of my eternity
We will once again be reunited


In Loving Memory of
Michael Mathew Dampier
Febuary 10, 1986 - November 3, 2001
