It's impossible for me to accept
The fact that you are gone,
You taught me everything I know
About happiness, love and loss.
I heard the crash from a mile away,
Or maybe i just felt it in my heart,
By the time I got there, the car was on fire
The smell of burning coolant stays with me
I drove around looking,
Even though I knew that it was you.
I passed your house, the car was gone
No longer deniable, the reality is the truth.
You were dealt a horrible hand,
But you told me once before.
There is never any excuse to hold back a smile,
And because of you I never do.
You never wanted anything from me,
except brotherhood and common interest,
I swear that you spent time thinking,
About what you'd ask at our next meeting.
Its been nearly two years now,
Since you drove that Cobra straight to heaven,
But theres still so much I need to say,
Things left to experience together.
James Blair Herron
A name I won't forget
He had a heart the size of the ocean
And a personality to match...
I love you Blair and even though these last two years I have lost 4 friends, no loss is greater to me than yours, as fucked up as that may be. I'd give anything to have you back here. I know I'll see you again one day, and if your idea of heaven is anything like mine, we'll be blasting hot laps around Leguna Seca in a couple Cobras sometime soon.

glad you finally were able to pen this... its important to grieve, but also to move forward too, and I believe so long as they remain in our hearts and minds, then they are never truly gone...
