As i lay here in my bed
Thinking about what lies ahead
The tears fall from my eyes
As I sit thinking why
Why you had to leave us now
I sit here thinking how
How I could have saved you
...I miss you
I think about the fun times we had
How we could talk whenever I was sad
How we would spend hours playing games
Knowing if anyone tried we'd put them to shame
The promises we made about the things we do
Now that's not possible without you
The pain I have may never heal
But i know the love you had for us was real
I always wish that this is a nightmare
But I know life isn't that fair
Sitting alone in the dark
Hiding behind a broken heart
That's not what you'd want me to do
Youd want me to stand up and be myself
And not put who I am on a shelf
Though I'll always miss you
And I come to realize this pain is true
I'll always cherish the memories we shared
The way you showed us you care
Rest easy Dad...we love you
I lost my Dad last year. Writing is the only thing that helps.
