Since the last time we spoke
I wrote a lot
About love
About you
About how things change
Since the last time we spoke
I learned
I grew
I cried
Since the last time we spoke
The world changed
Our family changed
My perspective changed
Since the last time we spoke
I met new people
Who in turn
Changed me
I know you aren’t here anymore
And I wish that you were
So you could see how much I’ve grown
As a person
As a friend
As a granddaughter
Since the last time we spoke
I learned a lot about love
About how it can be the greatest
And worst thing
Depending on if you let it be or not
Since the last time we spoke
You passed away
I miss you
Since the last time we spoke
I learned that as long as you remember them
They never leave you
Since the last time we spoke
I began to memorize everything about you
Your laugh
Your clothes
Since the last time we spoke
I began to write
It helps
But I never wanted to see you go
