Last Moments With Mom

Never would I have guessed as I spoke to you over the phone that it would be the 
last time.
Had I known I may have simply refused to hang up the other line.
Never thought the last time I hugged you I would never wrap my arms around you 
ever again.
Or maybe I would have held on longer hoping it would never end.
Never thought I'd run out of time to express to you how much you meant to me.
Because definately I would have told you, you were my only reason to be.
Had no clue that there would be no tomorrow to have dinner at home with you.
Or I would have come over once a day, perhaps even two.
I have been without you and lost for nearly a year now.
People say it will get easier but I don't see how.
Everyday is a happy thought followed by a tear.
Brought on by a memory then the thought that you aren't near.
