Guardian Angel

Today my heart is hurting
As tomorrow you wont be there.
I didnt know you were going 
Or i would have been there to care.

I hope you are at peace now
In heaven up above.
If only i could have saved you with my unconditional love.

A piece of my heart went with you
on that very day. Its never been the same, but i hope you hear me pray.

For I think of you often, i speak up to you each day. The laughs and the memories of you will never fade away. 

You meant the world to me
Perhaps i never let you know but when i see you again you will, as it is the first thing i will show.

I know when it is my turn my heart will ease to see the light.
As i dream of hugging you again and holding you so tight.

Our story didnt finish
That wasnt a goodbye.
But merely i must go for now.
I will watch you from the sky.

To know you are my angel guarding over me, brings me comfort every day.
But i still wish you were here with me.

Written with love

Yes the sadness of bereavement is so hard and very hard to put into words, but you have succeeded in these beautifully written lines.
