7 months on Tuesday
That's how long it's been
Regretting every text or call
That I did not send
Not a day has gone by
Without a thought or wish
I could see or talk to you again
Hoping always to make your proud
Even when I went down that road
You never wish to see me go
I tried my hardest not to let you know
Hiding my frown not letting it show
Almost like a clown painted smile
Your house was the only one
I ever felt safe growing up
I remember holding your hand
Begging and pleading no
Please grandma don't let me go
And you didn't
You never did
I was your 7th kid
We all love you
Even still
Until our last breathes
I know you know
