Mark 5

Quite unusual

I still recall how we met

In the wilderness

Like brothers from birth

From an age long forgotten

You(,) still remembered

A friend made so fast

Second guessing swept away

In the mountain breeze

We come with vices

You have seen me fall apart

Without blinking once

Yet we remain true

Those days never forgotten

Stories eternal

Of last second plans

Even pendant on the line

One hell of a time

Vegas trios set 

All the way down the 40

Reforged through the night

Of the shortest shorts

Celebrity shots taken

And wooly call outs

A rare beauty seen

The laughs that lit up the club

As you charmed the place

Both the highs and lows

Of letting death deal the cards

Winning (every) hand

Long walk down the way

Each carrying our own load

Till you spotted shoes

Of grand payment plans

Halted by a foreign tongue

Lost in cigar smoke

Shanty towns and inns

Uptown bars and shuffleboard

We've traveled them all

Despite the distance

Regardless of the time passed

You are a true friend

Bad times made better

In worst of times not alone

The best of times shared

As birthday shrimp light

Remember fondly small town

With so many tales

When you hold front lines

Remember boldly your friend

I'll come in a *SNAP*
