Milestones

But who will I play slug bug with
now that you’re gone?
Who can I confide in
the way I could confide in you?
Ever since we were kids,
your little hand in mine.
You were right there with me
for every milestone in my life.
Remember when I wanted to be a DJ?
Because you had a thing for turn-tables?
And how you got me into hip hop?
and I got you into porn?
There is no one I can meet tomorrow
who I can share those milestones with.
There is no one I can meet tonight
who I can replace such history with.
But I’ve got however-many-years left
to make the best of my future
and I’m going to spend all those years
without the one who was always there
for my milestones.
