Out of sight but never out of mind
With the help of his family and friends, Ike managed to pull out of his slump and go back to enjoying life.
But out of sight was never out of mind and Lacey haunted his every moment.
He longed for a letter, a phone call, anything to let him know she was alright, let him know she was missing him too.
Even if she wasn’t.
But none came.
One good thing was that, somehow, the press had not found out about Lacey, or anything and no one hassled him about it.
Fans were just fans and his private life, and turmoil, was his own.
The only time the two crossed was in the small print on the back of the ‘Shining’ CD cover, Hanson’s latest single.
The tiny words stated;
Lacey, if you fall I will pick you up again, no matter how far away you are from me. Out of sight, but never out of mind, the place in my heart is still open if you ever decide to return. My heart, my soul, my everything.
Ike just hoped she’d buy a copy of the song he’d written her and she those words, that had taken him five minutes to write but a lifetime to say.

……Your face is dark with shadows, your eyes have lost their shine,
Ike knew he would never forget Lacey and vowed one day he would find her again, for better or for worse.
you’re at war with your emotions and it’s not for the first time.
I don’t like to see you unhappy but there seems nothing I can do,
sometimes you open up to me other times I just can’t get through.
I know you think life’s a bitch and believe I feel the same way,
I’m your friend and I want to help you someone please tell me what to say.
I know you don’t like to talk and find it hard to trust anyone,
but you need to free yourself, it’s your turn in the sun.
You don’t have to feel like this, no one can force you to be this way,
you have every right to shine, every moment of the day.
So when times get too hard and shadows are closing fast,
remember always your friends are near and their friendship was built to last…….
