I’m still here, but yet I’m gone I don’t play guitar or sing my songs They never defined who I am The man that loves you ‘til the end You’re the last person I will love You’re the last face I will recall And best of all, I’m not gonna miss you Not gonna miss you I’m never gonna hold you like I did Or say I love you to the kids You’re never gonna see it in my eyes It’s not gonna hurt me when you cry I’m never gonna know what you go through All the things I say or do All the hurt and all the pain One thing selfishly remains I’m not gonna miss you I’m not gonna miss you
We were talking one day about how he felt about people asking him about his Alzheimer’s: if he was particularly upset about it, how horrible the disease was, how did he feel about not being able to know his loved ones anymore. He felt bad about it and he was talking to me later that day, and he said “I don’t understand what everyone is going on about with this thing, it’s not like I’m gonna miss anyone anyway.” - Julian Raymond
RIP Glen Campbell
