Dear Poetry

Waiting For The Day to Be With You

More days go by,

But my thoughts still float back to you,

All the memories we've had,

All the laughs we shared,

Now tainted by these days full of tears,

I'm told "Life goes on",

"You learn to live without",

Truthfully though...

I don't want to go on if it means not having you a phone call away,

I don't want to learn to live without the one person I felt out of everyone in my family closest to,

You're gone,

And I'm scared. 

You showed me the respect no one else did,

You listened to me when I felt like the world was against me,

You believed in me and my dreams,

Even when my own parents seemed to hate my ideas,

You were the best granddad I could have ever had imaginable.
