"The Only One"


This is about Jon. I was listening to one of my favorite bands, "Counting Crows", and I was really struck by the line in "Raining in Baltimore" which goes, "I miss you, I guess that I should." I was alone, Jon was in Kansas for the summer, and I really missed him terribly.
Summer 1994



Where are you now, my blue-eyed devil in black?
You sit beside me and act pensive.
It kills you to say that you love me.
And you bitch about not having eaten.
300 miles; you'll be far, far away.
I'll miss you,
I guess that I should.
I can still feel you're lips on mine,
Still see you smile as I say, "I love you"
You are the only one.

Where are you now, my blond-haired angel?
I smell you on my clothes
But you're nowhere to be seen.
Sitting by myself and brooding,
The field is lonely without you,
The night seems empty when you're away.
I miss you,
I guess that I should.
300 miles; you're far away from me,
300 years; I'll never stop loving you.
I love you.
You are the only one.

Where are you now, my pale skinned Adonis?
You lie there unmoving and quiet.
I suppose you believe something now.
Is it heaven or hell, or maybe just worm food for you?
The world is grey today,
And I wear your favorite color in sadness.
300 times I've told you how I feel,
300 times I'll cry in rememberance.
I miss you,
I guess that I should.
I loved you;
I love you still.
You were the only one.
