You see in me

The best parts of myself

You see in me

Things I can’t recall

What I wouldn’t give to your smiling face again

Take away all your sadness

Show you how much I care

Be the one you turn to

In the dead of night

Know that I was the one, your ray of sunlight

I see you for who you really are

The one who catches me when I fall

“Yeah,” he beamed. “Cool.”

“All right, love birds,” Ryder’s voice boomed above the others filling the room, “let’s jam.”

As expected, time got away from us, but it was well worth it. My fingers hurt like hell but the recording of Ryder and me for Maiden’s songHer Embracefucking rocked the shit and Maiden said they were including it on their next CD. I was fucking stoked!

They were heading back to LA the next day, so after a late night feast atIHopwe said our goodbyes and everyone headed home.
