To My Angel

A little more than 2 years has passed
The time has flown by so fast
Still wish I could talk to you
Tell you about my someone new
I look up and whisper to the sky
Wishing we'd never said goodbye
It's so different now without you here
Though you weren't always so near
I could always call you on the phone
But no one  answers now that you're gone
Scared you voice or face will fade
Even with all the memories made
Not just my mom but my best friend
My secrets you kept until the very end
You still hold a special place in my heart
Worlds away but apart
Grateful for our  time spent
Not sure if you know just how much it meant
But I do spend a lot of time
With you on my mind
And little things that catch my eye
Something purple or a butterfly
It’s the little things that get me thru
And make me feel a little closer to you
I miss the sound of your voice and your smile
After all it's been a while
If I close my eyes I see your face
I think back to that time and place
I remember crawling up in your bed
We decided on the movie Ted
A first for both me and you
Now a favorite memory I cling to
We laughed so hard we almost cried
But I haven't watched it since you died
Afraid if I do I might cry
But maybe one day I will try
And I know somewhere up above
You're watching over me with your love
I know I couldn't keep you forever
After all I'm old enough to know better
But my heart wasn’t ready to let you go
I know you know I miss you so
Sometimes more than I can bare
Losing you was so unfair
And though I know you're in a better place
But here in my life there's an space
Cuz no one can come close to
The bond I shared with you
My mom and my best friend
Now gone, now my angel
Doesn't mean that has to end
You're in my thoughts and prayers too
Momma I Still Love You!!!
