If you were here there's nothing else I would need in this world
But it seems God felt your work was done with this girl
I figure my hands and feet look like yours
To remind me that it's you I have always adored
My complexion like yours is bronzed with the love
That you left behind when you went up above
I'm small and petite just like you were
Very reminiscent of who you were
There's times when I wonder what it could have been like
For you to watch me grow older and learn to take flight
Maybe you could have taught me to do it right
But then again I shouldn't wreck my brain all night
It's not that I feel the Lord has done me wrong
By keeping you from me for so long
However I feel I might have enjoyed
Your company a bit longer so I wouldn't feel annoyed
That many and most have what I still desire
The warmth of your hugs and the kisses I admire
The envy I feel is not good at all
And I know deep inside that it's honestly wrong
For me to be jealous of others who have
The very one I lost 12 years and a half
And every year since I lose you again
It repeats itself over and over in my head
The only thing worse is the sound of their laughter
When I still don't have you so many years after
The holidays have never been the same
And for years to come I will still feel this way
It hurts so bad that your memory is faint
I fear I've forgotten the look of your face
The sound of your name
The smell of your mane
I can't last remember when I've gone through a day
Without thinking of how much I miss you so
I wish I could hold you and never let go
I stare at my palms while I sit and cry
Wondering when will it finally be my time
