Dear Matador
I should have written this letter so many years before
But time passes quickly
And what I would have said matters not anymore
Dear Matador
You've fought every battle harder than you get credit for
And when the pain starts to settle in
I am not afraid for my friend anymore
Dare I say
There is darkness you have defeated to be here today
And though the future is uncertain
You have strength and I am sure it'll be okay
And you held on when I gave up
And Matador, what can I say but thank you
Dear Matador
At least someone is good, someone is listening
Something is definitely worth doing
Though all of this I think you know
Dear Matador
Each word is a beacon of reassurance
That this world is still spinning
And the speed is mathematically constant
Dear Matador
I have not enough talent for the reference
Of all your beautiful poetics
But when the muse is right, I must accomplish
And you held on when I gave up
And Matador, what can I say but thank you
Dear Matador
This Halloween I will find a proper present
Something you would enjoy
Because once again, you've taken life by the horns
