My Dedication To You

I watched you die today
Not in person but in my heart
I got the call
And ever since i've sat here cyring
I didn't get to say good-bye
Or I love you
But I know you knew
At least I hope

I was always scared to see you 
Not able to to anything you liked
Or when they told me I couldn't
I pushed you to the limit
I got you to walk once or twice
And then they sent you to rehab
It was my fault you died
I just simply pushed you too hard

The day of the funeral
I was so nervous
I watched the movie of your life
And the last picture is the one I have of you
When I saw it I knew it really happened
Then I put flowers in your hands
Ones you would have loved
And they carried you away in peace

Everyday I've wished you were here
It's been so beautiful these days
I know you'd love them
But you're somewhere better
Where it's always sunny
Never a cloud in sight
Full of peace and serenity
And love for everything
