I Miss You Still.

I can still see your face,
The last time I saw you awake;
A smile on your face
And “I love you” on your lips.

I can still hear your laugh,
As your arms wrap tightly around me
In that “See you next time” kind of way –
No one really knew.

I can imagine your laid back sit,
Legs crossed and glasses on the edge of your nose,
A faint chuckle with every breath –
I never thought I could miss it so much.

I never got to say goodbye.
And it drives me crazy to know.
You were fine one day and gone the next;
Why couldn’t we see it coming?

Pictures of your younger years
Were the last things I remember about you,
And all the people who came to bid you goodbye –
I think everyone cried.

My heart was torn that day,
Trying to keep it together under their stares,
But it was the hardest thing I've ever done,
Saying good bye to you without you to hear me.

I love you. I love you. I love you.
Do you hear me, now?
I love you. I love you. I miss you.
If you can hear me, I wish you were here.
