Me and the Santana's met right before graduation when my friend, Michael introduced me to them, along with the Melvins and the Dontrelles for $250. At first, we weren't close at all. Slowly but surely we became inseparable. Everywhere I went, they were right there with me. I still remember when they got their first scuff. We were playing football at the lot and I dragged my toes and messed up the front. At first I thought that was gonna be the end of them, but their flaws just made me love them more and more. Eventually there were more scuffs and more hardships. I wasn't going to abandon them. They were in such pain that I had to clip their wings. I knew they were gonna have to be put down, but I just couldn't force myself to do that.
Then came the day.
The left got caught on something and got a huge hole in it. I still wasn't ready to let them go, but eventually the hole just kept getting worse and worse. I didn't want to, but I knew it was time.
I am just thankful for all the special moments that the Santana's and I shared together. And with that, I hope that they will continue to live on in my heart and in my mind.
I still cannot believe that you're gone.
