One More Day

Another year has come and gone
I still miss you
I hate that you left me here alone
I never knew how suddenly you could go
Now I wish it could be just me and you
I’m sad because of all the things we can never do
Or all the days we will never share
Like the day I graduate and get that degree
The day I’m sure you would’ve been proud of me

Some days I feel like I let you down
Because when it happened I wasn’t around
I wasn’t there to say goodbye
To see your face one more time
Though it’s been so long since then
This sadness never ends

You left and we all cried
I think I felt the worse inside
You were so much to me at such a young age
A best friend
A mentor
A hero
A teacher
Someone I treasured

Another year has come to pass and here I sit by your grave
Wondering what would happen if I had one more day
One more day to hear your laughter
One more day to hear your voice
One more day to see your smile
One more chance to tell you I love you
Even if it was for the last time
It would at least be one more day you’d be alive
