• Have I ever told you how much I missed you
    those days when you're not here?
    Did I tell you how much I loved you,
    how I hold you so dear?

    It's far too late now.
    You left us all behind.
    You're in a better place now,
    a place we'll never find.

    We used to spend time together.
    You played with me if that's what I sought.
    Never again will we have another,
    and I'll miss those times a lot.

    The day came when you went away.
    Just a vacation overseas.
    Unknowing that I won't see you live another day,
    I said goodbye, a moment I hardly seized.

    The call came and the world fell apart.
    "You don't have a grandpa anymore," my mom said,
    and that broke my heart.
    With pain and grief I let it out all, my tears shed.

    A week later and we're on a plane.
    Off to you're funeral so more tears could fall.
    I am still in a lot of pain.
    The fact that you're gone, I couldn't process at all.

    Another week and there you were,
    in a coffin about to be laid to rest.
    People cried and screamed for sure.
    To hold back the urge to scream, I did my best.

    I think back at what happened now,
    and the things that you'd done.
    It's like you knew this would happen but how?
    For me it wasn't fun.

    You seemed to give off hints to everyone.
    The hints you gave left our minds like a hand through sand.
    You're words only came back after the grieving's begun.
    Did you go overseas so you can die in your home land?

    I don't have all the answers yet.
    Search for them I won't do.
    It won't do good to wonder and fret.
    All I know is I'll always miss you.
