Most of my poems that I have written over the last year have come from the Voice Driven videos. After meeting him I felt like all the poems that I had written were on point of what he was like and how he would act. I was impressed but heartbroken how he came across to me. I was trying not to act like a crazy fan but I think that was how I came across. I wanted to be an equal to him since we are both artist but that’s not how it came to be. Before we left we went over and purchased a couple things to help Joey. Then got a couple more pictures with him which I think he really wasn’t interested in. I finally told him all the things that I had wanted to tell him over the year since I saw him. I explained to him that I still loved Gavin but with him that my heart felt it was in the clouds. I was glad that he was nice enough to thank me for being a fan and for trying to get his name out to people. I hated leaving that night knowing that he wasn’t gone from the location yet but I knew we had to leave. It’s only been a couple months but I still wonder if he actually still has my book and has gotten the time to read it. I was hoping that maybe Gavin would get the chance to see what I wrote for him as well. In some ways I feel like he let me down but then again I think that it was my fault how I came across. I look at this picture as inspiration to keep writing. The whole night I thought about when I wrote the “Walk Home” and how writing it changed my life. I keep hoping that he will pick up the fans that his brother has. If you have ever heard the songs Sunny and Another Mistake then you can understand why I love his music.

Those songs find a chord in my heart that not even his brother could find. Don’t get me wrong I still enjoy listening to Gavin but Joey’s new cd can’t get out soon enough. I have been ready for his cd to come out for more than a year. I will admit since meeting him I haven’t been writing like I was. I wrote a letter to him that I might publish as a poem because I pour out my heart and say all the things that I thought about meeting him. I feel like that thank you isn’t enough for what he has given me. I wouldn’t have a published book without Gavin and him. He is still my most used muse for writing. I keep waiting for a new Voice Driven video to see what Brian Webber taped at the concert. When we finally got back from the concert and I could sit down and reflect on the concert I didn’t have my pen and paper with me. I had so much that I wanted to write but my head was still replaying the evening. Even now I think about that night. I try to replay it several times a day. I am doing all I can to hold onto the memory of that night. I know that even with what happened that night I will always be a lifelong fan of Joey DeGraw. But I wanted to share my experience of the greatest night of my life.
