We Miss You

We think about you every day, and wish you would just come home
It’s not the same without you here, we all feel so alone
And as time continues to pass us by; our hearts don’t seem to mend
For someone once said you were the centerpiece to our group of friends
Your time with us was cut too short, and forever you will be missed
By all of us who loved you the most, and are left to reminisce
Your smile, your giggle, and crazy dance moves are some things we cherish the most
And now when we get together, you can expect there will be a toast
To you and all the good times we had and to the memories we shared
We still don’t know how to go on without you; the pain is hard to bare
We know you are watching over us and peaking in from time to time
Now if only we could just talk to you, and hear that you’re doing fine
But you left us with some peace of mind, the day you had to go
For you said that day was one of your best; your smile showed us so
So as we continue to live this life, we can’t help but question our fate
But we know that when it’s our time, you’ll be greeting us at Heaven’s gate
