Thoughts Stored Inside

Why'd You Have to Take Her Away

There were so many things never said.

So many memories never made.

So many times that I should have called.

Never did I think I'd lose it all.

I know the pain is over but for me it's just begun.

Finally setting in and tearing me away.

I'll never forget what I already have.

But always wish there was more to be had.

The summers of fun that we use to have.

The times where we would just sit and laugh.

I hold them all very dear.

But never did I think the end to be near.

I wish I could have seen you one more time.

Heard your laugh and saw your smile.

I know that you're in a better place.

And I know that you'll never truly be gone.

I know that no matter what you'll be with me.

But I still wish there were more memories to be made.

The times we had were more than great.

And now the times will make me ache.

I'll miss you dearly and never forget.

I know you'll always be by my side.

And I know that you'll always be on my mind.

I know this life is just a passing tree in a car.

But still the second will never be gone.

I'll cherish the memories that we shared.

And I'll always know that you'll be there.

I'll watch for you in my life.

To see that you are watching me.

I'll miss you MeeMAw you know I will.

And right now it just dont seem fair.

Why'd you have to go so soon?

Before I could even get the chance.

To tell that I loved you so.

To see your face one last time.

To hug you close so you know I'm there.

To tell all the things in my life.

To catch you up on all that time.

And now the moments passed me by.

All I can do is sit here an cry.

And the tears don't seem to dry.

I know that you'd tell me to be strong.

And that I'll be okay.

And to let it all out and

Not hide it away.

I know that you're right and so here I am

Just crying away.

I feel you here, next to me.

Almost as if you're telling me.

"You'll be okay.

I know you will.

You're a strong little boy.

And we both know it's true.

I"ll always be here for you."

I feel the cold of the other worldly touch.

Like you're trying to give me a hug.

And it makes me cry more for it can't be returned.

I hear you say "I love you but now I have to go.

It's time for me to return home.

I'll miss you all but want you to know.

I love you Shawn D.

And I love you all.

I'll always be here if you want to call."

At that the feeling is gone and

I want nothing but for it to return.

However I know that you are now finally home.

Free of the pain and free of the hurt.

And I just have to say "I love you Meemaw.

And I always will...
