Sometimes

Sometimes when I close my eyes I can almost hear your voice. It whispers so soft that I don't know if it's real but I know your watching me. Sometimes I can feel your eyes they are watching me from all sides and I can't help but feel safe. It doesn't matter if your not around I still know what I believe. They can tell me all they want that your up in heaven but I know you've never left me. Sometimes I look at your pictures in a photo album and I smile I see the brown the brown eyes I have myself. I wish a million fish that you could be back again, but it's the real world and I know things don't work that way I wish sometimes it could. It didn't hit me that you were gone until I saw you lying in that coffin. The tears couldn't stop falling and my eyes kept burning they tried to comfort me. They didn't understand that I needed this pain, they didn't understand that I can't ignore this feeling. Sometimes I can't sleep, my whole body feels weak... I wonder what I am here for and then you remind me. It's always been my dream to conquer the world it's seems you were always there when I fell. Putting your hands up so I could use them as a punching bag you wanted me to grow up strong. I'm still learning that I should never be afraid we all die, we all feel pain sometimes and that's a lesson ill never forget. It's making me tear up right now I haven't thought about this in a while but I know I should. Sometimes it's hard but I look up and I smile at the blue skies, at our happiness and I know your the reason... you will always be the reason you will always be apart of us. Sometimes I close my eyes and I can almost hear you saying baby don't give up i'm watching you till the end.
