I Miss You
It was a year ago today that you died
But not a single day has gone by
That you haven’t crossed my mind
Still it's no easier to bare
I still wish that you were here
I talk to you all the time
Wondering if you can hear me way up there
From time to time I still call
But still no one answers
And I know they won't when I dial
And yet still I give it another try
I try my best not to break down and cry
But some days aren’t as easy as others
You were so much more than just a mom
You were my best friend
I still need you as my guide
Esp. when I'm alone at night
I hold no regrets
But it still doesn’t keep me from missing you
Surrounding myself with things that remind me of you
I wear your rose close to my heart
Just wish I could hear your voice on the other end of the line
Or see you smile just one more time
Days pass and at times I feel so lost
And even though I know you are in a better place
Here in my life there is an empty space
That no one can fill
And I don’t think it will ever heal
I know that you are watching over me
It's one thing I wholeheartedly believe
But it's just not the same
On a cold wet stone I see your name
It no longer appears on my phone
No more special trips back home
None of this is fair
At 22 this I must bare
It's not so easy to do
Momma I just really miss you!!!!
