Changes Happen, by MrsPeterson Subscribe to rss feed for MrsPeterson

Things have changed
Thats for sure
I never thought
I'd feel this way
I want to smile
Through all the tears
I've lost someone
So dear to me
And your here
Holding me
As I try to breathe
As I try to cope

I had always hoped
He'd never leave me
He'd never go away
But now he's gone
I'll never see him again
I'll never again
Get to tell him I love him
Never again
Get to put my arms around him

I have to watch
As my mother breaks down
As she watches
My grandmother break down
A vicious cycle
A constant reminder
Of what we've lost
A horrible feeling
Washes over me

I'm growing up
I'm getting older
I complain about my age
I forget those older than me
But now it hits me
As I watch my mother cry
Over her fathers coffin
Does my daddy know?
Does he know how much I love him
Does he know how much I'd miss him
Does he know he's my inspiration...
I doubt he does
I don't know what stops me
Why don't I tell him
Come on just say it
But I won't
I know I won't

I can only hope I do
Before I'm standing over his coffin
Wishing I had told him
Wishing I had hugged him more
Talked to him more
Spent more time together

Daddy, I Love you
