Gone Forever

Gone Forever I think about you every day and hope that you’ll return You left us way too soon, and for you I always yearn I can’t believe you’re gone forever, I am still in disbelief Not a day goes by that my heart is not filled with grief Never did I think that you would get sick and pass away It feels like we were playing basketball just yesterday Everything I do reminds me of you, dad The thought that I can’t call you anymore makes me really sad I know you’re in a better place, no longer in pain or discomfort But when I realize that you’re gone forever, my heart begins to hurt I love you so much and I miss all the times we shared Knowing that you’re gone forever makes me really scared Who am I gonna call when I need help with my car? And who’s gonna make fun of me for all my careless scars? You were so laid back and easygoing, you never complained about much I miss your calm demeanor and your soft, gentle touch I tell you how much I love you each and every day I wish I could hear you talk to me and tell me that you’re okay A lot has changed since you got sick, and life will never be the same All I want is one more kiss and to hear you call my name
