Death of a Loved One

I miss you.
I miss all of things we used to do.
I miss all of the rice pudding I used to share with you.
I miss watching Road to El Dorado with you, too.

I miss seeing you and the flying dollars you gave to me.
I miss the songs you played on your guitar to lull me sleep.
I miss showing you the swim team ribbons I earned for you.
I miss going to church with you, too.

I'll never forget all the candy we ate.
I'll never forget all the oatmeal you made me everyday.
I'll never forget the New Year's Eve you got up and danced.
I'll never forget how high you wore your pants.

I'll remember all the good times we had.
I think about them whenever I get sad.
I never thought I would run out of time.

But, I want to tell you, you were apart of a family I am glad to call mine.
I'll tell you now, something I should've told you from the start.
There will always be a place for you, deep inside my heart.
