Opened my eyes
I saw you
We sat under the blue skies
Just know i love you
Stay
Let's play
If only for a little
You got sick
If only I could pick
You wouldn't be
If only I had the key
To set your free
But I can't
Cancer ate you
something your body created
was killing you
It wouldn't make it disappear
You got better
Even the weather
It seemed to smile
But I was only a child
I didn't understand
Then you got worse
Once more
I knew
but didn't
I watched your hair
As it fell
Same as I watched your tears
Fall to the floor
or into my shirt
Before I left
One year
One summer
You seemed happy
better
And I believed
Not knowing that would be the last time
To say goodbye
To say I love you
To say thank you
To hug you
I went back to see you
But
You were in a bed
In a hospital
As I went to touch your hand
No longer warm
Frozen
I wrapped the blanket tighter around you
Though I knew
Nothing would change
I cried
"Why" I yelled
You didn't deserve it
everyone had tears
Even strangers who thought heard your story
Your story isn't your cancer story
Another passed
I miss you
I wish you could come back
Heaven got back an angel
But I need you
Your in a better place
but I need you
You are not longer in pain
But i need you!
When I miss you
so much that it's too much to bear
I close my eyes
And I see you
As I age I smile
the time is getting close
Until I can see you again
Wait for me
I'll be seeing you again
