Visit Him

He lies in a grave about a state away
and I haven't said Hi since the last goodbye 
I miss him so much and I know there won't be
much to see if I go pray over some dirt
and hope that he really does hear me 
but just the idea of never coming back
makes me feel like I am forgetting him 
I think he deserves a visit 
I think he deserves a hello 
If I had the chance I would bring
him those minuscule flowers 
the ones that everybody brings to be nice
because even though they're going to fade
away just like he did maybe a part of me
will sink into the ground and reach him
and just maybe when I sit down on the grass
surrounded by a million tombstones I will 
feel connected to him some how.   
A part of me feels like if I don't
go see him than maybe he won't know
just how much I've been missing him
I'll beg my mom a hundred times 
and I don't care how emotional she gets
but I need to visit him again
I need him to know that my love
for him still exists.

Hope you get to go. There is comfort in visiting the grave site of loved one. I know how you feel, though your reasons may be different, love and loss is the same. A tender and heartfelt write. Love, Shar
