Missing You
I REMEMBER WHEN WE USE TO SIT IN OUR DINING ROOM AFTER DINNER JUST TALKING
ABOUT ANY AND EVERYTHING
I REMEMBER WHEN WE USE TO TAKE WALKS AROUND OUR BLOCK EVERY SATURDAY
MORNING
AT THAT TIME I WAS SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU IN MY LIFE
AND I WASN'T THAT THANKFUL UNTIL YOU WAS GONE
EVERYONE KEPT TELLING ME YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO SEE ME SO SAD AND MOURNFUL
SO I SUCKED UP ALL THE TEARS AND CARRIED AROUND A LOAD OF GUILT
FOR THE NEXT 15 YEARS
NOW I AM A CHANGED PERSON BECAUSE I LEARNED TO FORGIVE MYSELF
THE DAY I WON'T FORGET WAS TWO DAYS AFTER YOUR DEATH WHEN I WENT TO YOUR GRAVE
I FELT YOUR PRESENCE THERE AND I SMELLED YOUR FAVORITE PERFUME AROUND ME
I TURNED AROUND AND SAW A LITTLE GIRL THAT LOOKED LIKE YOU
THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER UPON THE GRASS BUT IT TOOK ME A SECOND
TO REALIZE THAT THE GIRL WAS ME
