Goodbye

Those pretty bluebells’s sitting on your grave,
Delicate, intricate, those blue flowers,
They remind me of you,
You dazzled those before you; I wish you could see it too.

You’re smiling face among the strangers,
You're up there alone,
I wish that I could visit you,
But I know I have to wait my turn; for my name to be called.

I hope that you are happy there,
Are you free now?
Can you do what ever you wish without restraints?
I know you're life was full of those; because I watched you break.

I saw you fall to pieces slowly,
You don't know how much it broke my heart,
To see you so fragile and shattered,
Seeing those tears upon your face; showed me your underlying pain.

I still wish I had a chance to say goodbye,
You left us too suddenly,
Still to this day I remember that saying,
That one you kept just for goodbyes; 'Goodbye, just remember, be safe.'

I tell everyone that now,
You knew what good it did,
To make sure everyone around you was reassured,
When you were confused inside; it wasn't pleasant for you, I know.

I remember the day we realised it,
It was just another day,
They said you had dementia,
You refused to listen; but it was fate.

I wish you knew what was going on,
So that you could explain,
That hurricane of feelings you felt,
When they told you that you'll forget; all those treasured memories.

You know I'll never forget you,
I know you'll understand,
Those tears I shed for you,
My bluebell loving Nan.
