Flashbacks & Memories

The other day I found your picture. Memories flooded my mind, memories of all the time we spent together. I stared at your picture for hours and I remembered every thought that passed through my head the first time I saw you. I stared at your picture and remember that day. It was summer, it was years ago... "I've always known, you'd take on the world To relive what's just Flashbacks and memories In scrapbooks of pleasantries With your banners unfurled Fly the colors of Yesterdays witty scenes The dreams of all wannabes To remember you need to forget, you need to forget" 24.08.2010 Replica

Our Souls Were Made For Rock'n'Roll (pt. IV)

“Studded leather, strip it, and inside – the most beautiful soul” My first reaction was to call Cynthia and tell her. After the first ring she picked up. “I know, I just saw. I’m on my way. Get off work.” As I hung up, Ron burst in the room. “Vicious.” “I know.” “Did you…?” “No. I know better than that and you know it, Ron.” “I want you to arrange an interview for us. With Dany and Jayden, at least. ASAP. Chop-chop.” He left the room. I knew full well a lot of magazines were going to start calling in asking if I had anything to do with this. I was one of the 10 journalists that got to interview Vicious in Paris in spring. Names spread fast. I opened Vicious’ forum board and started going through the 12-page topic about ‘Anya’.

Jayden was sad to see me go and he begged me to stay for a few days more. I promised I would come visit him in England first chance I get and he cheered up a little. Eric gave me a hug and slipped a guitar pick in my hand “for luck.” Glen made a little joke and said I’m the best journalist he’s ever worked with. Dany was the last to say goodbye. I was surprised how cold he acted, considering what had happened a few hours ago. The butterflies in my stomach were still dancing up and down in a spiral every time my eyes met his, but Cynthia’s voice and my determination overcame them, eventually. Maybe that day I was a little sad to part from so

I just really need to be alone now... Tony Kakko 2009 Days of Grays 07.08.2010 Replica
