I was thinking about you today
While I was shopping
I saw something and thought of you
And for a moment
I forgot…
I saw your face
In my head
Picturing you opening your gift
And for a moment
I forgot…
I felt you there with me
Knowing you’d be laughing
And for a moment
I forgot…
I forgot you weren’t there
That I’ll never see your face
Or hear your voice
And for a moment
I forgot…
But then the pain crashed in
And my heart broke again
That I’ll never see you again
Because you're gone
But for a moment
You were here

I was thinking about you today
While I was shopping
I saw something and thought of you
And for a moment
I forgot…
I saw your face
In my head
Picturing you opening your gift
And for a moment
I forgot…
I felt you there with me
Knowing you’d be laughing
And for a moment
I forgot…
I forgot you weren’t there
That I’ll never see your face
Or hear your voice
And for a moment
I forgot…
But then the pain crashed in
And my heart broke again
That I’ll never see you again
Because you're gone
But for a moment
You were here
My grandfather passed a few months ago and while shopping I saw the perfect gift and for a moment I felt him there beside me
