You said you'd stay

You said you'd stay,
said you'd love to watch me getting married someday.
You said you'd play with me all day,
but you left me mid-way.

I love you,
I didn't tell you this ever, not even once, I remember.
I always wanted you to be with me,
even if it was selfish of me.

Grandparents you were,
you called yourself old.
Kept saying that it was time for you to go.

But I was never ready to say goodbye to you..

I still have the last sweater you made for me,
I still have those cute little socks you made for little me.
I never thanked you enough for them,
when I did, you never responded back.

That night, when you left,
I remember hiding from my mother and crying like hell.
I remember her crying like hell.

You never told us that you were leaving,
rather left us without warning.
You should've given us a little time,
we could've probably changed your mind.
