Grandma

Give me a hug
squeeze me tight
I want to hear your breath
next to mine
Tell me a story
so i can laugh,
tickle me till my voice
runs dry

Say goodbye
before you leave
I will miss you so, if you don't
Oh can't you see
I'm afraid you will just
go away without
a hello or a goodbye

I am showing you my love
can't you see
why are you 
turning yours away from me

I will tickle you 
and tell you stories
again and again
If you will say goodbye
Just one more time
to, me
