“I Took You For Granted”
By Angela Biscoe
May 31, 2010

I took you for granted; oh, how I miss your smile,
For my trip to heaven might be awhile.

I took you for granted; I thought there will be another album,
Thriller, Bad, and History; yea, I got each one.
I took you for granted; I never wrote a letter,
I wondered in my heart if you would get better.

I took you for granted; I thought there will be one more book,
I saw you on TV, I wanted one more look.
I took you for granted; thought one day we would talk,
Just knew in my heart, you would always moonwalk.

I took you for granted; watching you on Soul Train,
Today I wonder just who is the blame.
I took you for granted; I never saw you in concert,
Never brought a ticket, always had to work.

I took you for granted; but this last time I was going to go!
I took you for granted, and then there was no show.

Thank you, malagaaunike. It's so moving and so true that many of us took for granted he would always be there...
