I got to tell you from the heart.
I've been thinking about you from the start.
Ever since I saw you laying there.
It was all over whelming.
It was all unreal.
I couldn't believe what I've seen.
It felt like a bad dream.
The sight of it all
Is something
I'll never forget.
I've got to admit,
It's a memory of you
That won't go away.
I always want to remember you,
Just not that way.
It's everyday, everywhere I go
I see you in my head.
It's the little things.
Something reminds me of you,
Just a simple memory.
Times we've shared.
Moments we had.
I go to sleep an see you,
I wake up and see you again.
It's everyday I see you.
You are in my words.
You are in my thoughts.
It's like when we were young.
You would follow me,
Whereever I would go.
Even after I said no.
Only difference then,
I wanted you to go home.
Now I don't want you to.
This tragedy
Rips my heart in half.
Why couldn't you have just stayed home.
Why couldn't you have just listen,
to the one's that care about you.
You always did what you wanted,
Never what you was told.
I should of talked to you when I still had the chance,
Maybe it would of done some good.
Its To late for that now.
I can't dwell on things that
I should have done.
I wish you were alive and well.
I never knew this would happen to you.
I thought I had years with you.
To see you grow old.
I thought I would go
Before you.
That you would be standing
Over me, not me over you.
My eyes are wide open now.
I can see better than before.
I don't take life for granted.
I take everything that I touch,
All that I see, all that i feel
Everything I do, and all that I love.
I try to enjoy every little moment
With my family and friends.
Because you just don't ever know
If I will get another chance.
If the clouds burst open,
And it starts to pour down rain.
I know It belongs to you, because it's all the tears
We cried for you.
"I've got to say this poem
Is dedicated to you,
always My little sister."
Memorys of you forever
All thirty four years.
