I miss you

For my Papaw. I miss you so much. Life is so much different without you here. I really wish you could comfort me. Things just aren't the same anymore. =[

I miss the way

We used to laugh

 

I miss how we talked

About people from the past

 

You were amazing

My very best friend

 

The yearning for your presence

Haunts me again

 

You were a gentle soul

Not asking for much

 

Yet people took advantage of you

Stole your money AND your love

 

Your humor helped me

During my times of struggle

 

Now you're with Mamaw

You're rocking side by side

 

Dancing with my dog, Ringo

Still waiting to say goodbye

 

But the difficulties of losing you

Take a toll on me now and then

 

They make me miss you more and more

And make me long for my last breath

 

You gave me inspiration

And let me see the light

 

You helped me come to the realization

That things just happen in life

 

I miss you every single day

And often I think of you

 

Papaw, things just aren't the same anymore

Ever since I lost sight of you
