I haven't forgotten you....

It's been too long since the last time we were together. Life has taken a lot of twists and turns, time has been running as if it were scared by something but, amidst the craziness of life, I've been thinking about you more and more lately. I have been approached by a few people recently with an opportunity for us to be together again and I'm not sure what to do. I was hoping that writing to you may help me decide what happens next for you and I. I remember when we spent hours together every day creating some of the best memories I'll ever have. I've been feeling guilty for leaving you behind, but honestly you would hate it here. I know, we would be together here but we would never be able to spend any time together and that would be hard for both of us. I know you're safe and warm now, and I want you know that I'm coming back to you.

I remember the first time I saw you... I was only ten years old and you were one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen. You were hiding in the basement, just waiting for me to find you sitting there waiting for me. I did a double take and actually jumped as I rushed towards you. I was so excited that all I could do was smile as I started hitting you uncontrollably. I continued the beatings every day and we both knew it was meant to be.

As we grew closer, I bought you little gifts to make you look more beautiful and to let everyone know you were mine. A new cymbal, that double kick pedal you'd been asking for and don't forget when I bought that new rack (you know, that one we planned on using together on the road). Yeah, we've really had some good times together. I've laughed and cried with you, taken you on many travelling adventures, spent countless days in the studio with you...

Well, I guess what I'm trying to say to you Tama Rockstar DX, Zildjian K/Z Series cymbals, Tama Iron Cobra Pedals, Roc-N-Soc Throne and Vic Firth sticks is that no matter what happens next, you are still in my heart and I haven't forgotten you.
