Missing Michael

I've been looking for words. When I couldn't find them I went on an old idea and made the photo above. I used other people's words - they so well make up for a portrait of the man, the artist, the humanitarian.
My trouble with writing today came from not finding the right words to express what I'm feeling. 2 years on and the pain is just as intense.
 For the past 2 days I got this song stuck in my head - Coldplay's "Fix You". I thought it was just business as usual (they are one of my favorite bands and "Fix You" is usually one of my pick me up songs)  until I finally sat down and played it. And I got to the bridge. 

"Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace"

This is why. I miss him. It's not going to change - it's a loss that cannot be replaced. His energy, his talent, his creativity, his dedication, his love. Him as a person and personality. As an artist and a role model.

And I figures what I wanted to write. Something I learned from Michael.
Work hard. At times certain people will take swings at you. It's sad, nerve wracking. Better yourself, build on you resilience and put the energy into your work. You will get back love.

Thank you Michael !
