waiting patiently
Angela Crabtree 1982 (maine)
A pain so deep I can not describe it
Inseparable from birth until that day
It just wasn't meant to be
Your life was cut short by unexpected events that day
Vivid memories like they came from yesterday
Your laugh and your smile have not been forgotten by me
I see you every day
Whenever I look into the mirror I see you staring back at me
I smile that smile of pain people pretend not to see
I can see you in my daughters features and it makes me smile
Know matter how much time passes I struggle with the fact I will not
see you in the flesh but only in my dreams
Jimmy I love you.
Waiting patiently for that day we get reunited.
