You have been out of my life for 2 years now,
But it seems like a lifetime
I remember how you always used to say
Never say goodbye, say see you later
Well, I said see you later a million times
When you were laying in that hospital bed
Well, I wish I could see you now,
Or when I had the hardest time of my life
On March 26, 2008
I know you were looking down on me
Then and you are looking down on me
Now and telling me that it is okay
But it feels like everything falls
Apart when you're not there.
Everyone says it is bad to bottle
Things up and that if I need to cry I should
I don't like crying in front of people
You were the only one, I couldn't care less
If I cried in front of
I had you there to comfort me
When I was sad
But when you died everything
Fell apart because I didn't
Have you to comfort me anymore
I have always wondered, Grandpa,
How is it in heaven?
How is being back with Grandma?
I miss her a lot too...tell her I love her
And I haven't forgotten about her.
I hope one day we can all reunite
In heaven and have it like old times.
And I will be your mermaid turkey.
