Love Can't Bring You Back

A poem for my Grandfather.

Have you ever loved someone so much 

that you would give everything you ever worked for in life 

to spend just one more day with them

one more moment,

to say those things you never got to say

to give them one last hug

to tell them how much they meant to you

how much you loved them. 

To hear their voice that you hold so close

in memory

in heart

with every living breath.

A day to talk about the memories you've shared

to ask them to sing just one last song,

to ask them to say one last joke 

just to hear them laugh.

I would give everything just to see him there

standing in our driveway,

helping me wash his van

laughing as we talked into eachothers heart. 

My grandfather, my friend

my heart I owe to him,

Rest In Peace I love you true.

I wish I could have just one more moment 

to hold you in my arms,

to tell you you were the best Grandfather anybody could ever hope for

what I would give 

to have that last hug. 

Author's Note

My Grandfather was the most amazing person you could ever meet. He loved everyone no matter who they were. I never got a chance to give him one last hug goodbye. They say time heals everything, but it has been months and still I cry to this very day, wishing I could have that hug. So to everyone out there who is losing someone, make sure they know what they mean to you. Hug them, hold them just be with them, because all you'll have left after is time. Make sure the time you shared with them counts. And to those of you that have lost someone you loved greatly; you're not alone. Be strong.

This is sad, I'm sorry you lost him. I can really relate, and I know that he is a very lucky man to have people like you to remember and care for him
