My day begins,
I wake in the morning late again because you are not here to pull at the covers to let me know the coffee’s ready. I pull the drawer out, but you don’t jump in to rearrange my socks. As I brush my hair,I look in the mirrow and I’m alone, your brush is still. When I leave for work, daddy’s waving “Bye” your face in the door I do not see. Back for lunch, I sit at the table, the spot where you sit to watch me eat is bare.
Leave again, I look your still not there. Home again, I open the door, look down, at first I look around, then quickly realize Daddy’s watching. All through the evening we try to carry on as before and comfort Meme as she looks for you at the slightest sound.
I finally fall asleep on the couch because you didn’t come to tell me I’ve been up to long and it’s time to go to bed. When I finally give in and crawl into bed is the hardest of all. Because your not there to get under the covers with me to sing me to sleep with your gentle purr and your soft touch. So I cry my self to sleep. My heart is breaking. I miss you so much. The tears won’t stop and the guilt won’t let up.
I wasn't ready to let you go,
you are everywhere, but nowhere.
