You've always treated me
like I was family
You saw the best in me,
even though at times
for me it wasn't always
clear to see
You always took the time
to sit and talk,
you never once told me
to take a walk
To hear now that I'm losing you
it's hard to believe the news is true
I don't know what to do
I don't have a single clue
I wish I was there to see you
I just wouldn't know what to say
I wish you were okay
There's just so much that
I would like to repay
You took me in and treated me
like I your own son
Never once condoning things
that I have done
You're are a second mom to me
being a part of your family
makes me happy
I wish there was something
that I could do
I wish that I didn't have to
lose you too
Mom, I just wanted to let you know
how grateful I am to have met you
You taught me how to look at life
in different view
For everthing you have done
Thank you
I love you and I'll miss you
Are you here or there
or nowhere at all?
Did I even get to know you?
Was anything that you said
even true?
I've been asking myself this
a lot as of late
but the only answers
I seem to find
I'd rather sedate
I'm not sure if its me
or just something in my head
I wish I had more time with you
instead of leaving things unsaid
It's funny, silence bothers me
You're the only one I want to see
and yet I know deep down
that can never be
I want to ask, where were you
when I needed you?
but that just me being selfish
'cause I know there was
nothing you could do
After all, you're there and I'm here
there's no middle ground,
not even for you to lend me an ear
or even make a sound
I miss you more than words
could ever say
you're my first and last thoughts
of the day
I wish I could say that this
feeling's getting better
but I can't even send you
one dam letter
Was it wrong of me for wanting
to get to know you?
Is it something that I did
or is this just a punishment due?
I guess I shouldn't complain
I at least got to talk to you
on the phone
and to be honest, what little
time I spent with you,
I never felt alone
