You and Me

You always called it Hariboo,
Oh, and I laughed, but never at you,
Understand how I miss you so.

And how I can’t let you go.
Now I think about it day to day,
Don’t think it’ll ever go away.

Missing you all the time,
Every day and every night.

You’d throw parties on boxing day,
Oh, and we’d do quizzes, but I’d never beat Kay,
Unfolding, all that lies beneath the surface.

And when I think of your face,
No more tears fade my smile away,
Don’t think about what cards to play.

Mind over matter, I think to myself,
Every time I want your help.

You’ll be with me on my wedding day,
Oh, and you were there on my birthday,
Under my skin, I could feel you there.

And I wasn’t scared,
No, I wasn’t afraid,
Didn’t want it any other way.

My thoughts are always good when they’re of you,
Every time I think, every time I sing a tune.

You were there to talk to,
Oh, and I would talk to you,
Under any circumstances.

And I got more and more chances,
Needless to say that you cared,
Did my best to show you that I’m there.

Maybe I won’t ever move on completely,
Every time I hear your voice singing sweetly.

You and me,
Oh, now I see,
Understanding these things.

And growing my wings,
Never letting them hide,
Dodging this tide.

Might never win this fight,
Every thing may be wrong, not right.

Yet I know what is true,
Oh, and I know I loved you,
Understand, I still love you.

And you rest in the skies,
Now I know that your eyes,
Don’t never shine bright.

My future will always be bright,
Every time I wish you goodnight.

You laid there today,
Oh, and I sang you a song,
Up above, you lay.

And, I hope you sang along,
Needless to say, I miss you much,
Do anything for your hug.

Maybe death begins at the end of life,
Every life continues on whilst loved one are alive.

Understand that you were my guide.

And when I feel alone in this,
Never will I forget I have you,
Did I ever tell you?

My goodbye to you,
Every night, I think of it.

Yet every night, I also regret it,
Oh, it would’ve been so easy,
“Understand, that I love you”.

And, you could’ve heard me,
Never would you go without hearing,
Do you know that even though you were going we were nearing?

My body stood by your grave,
Even my hand threw in the dust.

Yet I didn’t feel any pain,
Only now, when I must,
Understand, that I love you.

And, with every second that passes,
Never does a second pass when I think not of you,
Day dreaming in my classes.

Me and you on Boxing Day,
Every year, always the same.

You, me and the family,
Once upon a time,
Understand, we were happy.

And, we still shine,
Never does a second pass without you,
Don’t you forget.

Me, you and the family,
Every Boxing Day.

We’ll be like we’ve always been,
In our cheery spirits that day,
Sometimes we will be sad,
Having days when we’ll miss you like mad.

Yesterday, I laid flowers on your grave,
Oh, I hope you and granddad like them,
Understand, that I have a smile on my face.

Was always lucky to have you in my life,
Every night and every single day,
Remembering the talks we’d have sometimes,
Each memory I hope will never fade.

Here, in my heart, you can stay,
Every night and every day,
Remember, that always,
Everyone will relive those Boxing Days.

When Sasha would dress up too,
In our hearts, we’ll remember you,
Tomorrow, will be a new day,
Hold me close and we’ll be okay.

Understand, that we’re not letting you go,
Stay with us now, we have a party to throw.

Fear nothing Grandma, Granddad can come too,
Oh, why don’t you tag along, the two of you,
Remember Lorna, Jake, Dan and Bev?
Each of us miss you; my brother, dad and me,
Very missed you are, I hope you’ll always see,
Every time you want a hug, you know where we’ll be,
Remember, that we’re together always, forever happy.

I’ll remember you as beautiful,
As you are always beautiful to me.
