When I woke up this morning
It hit me hard that you were not here
I never imagined getting up
Without having you near
Even though we are cousins
To me it was always more than that
There is was nothing we couldnt do
Nothing we were not good at
But now you âre gone
And part of me is missing too
What do you want me to do
Tell me... what can I do
Remember our little sleepovers
And playing cards under the chairs
Remember climbing up to the top
And then sliding back down the stairs
Remember when you got stung by a bee
When we were picking grapes that day
And Pop told you to rub your finger with a leaf
And that it would be okay
Remember the dance we made up to Silent Night
That we never got to do
What about the time we almost burned our hands
While playing with hot glue
Remember going out of church on Sundays
To eat our oranges in the car
And our field trips to the Gathers' house
Though it was not that far
Remember spinning ourselves dizzy
Until we almost got sick
And our games of hopscotch
Playing and drawing with sticks
Remember my birthday outing
The last one you spent with me
We went skating and ate pizza
And then we laughed at the movies
Remembering these memories has helped me learn
That we are not really apart
That the good times will always hold us together
In our minds and in our hearts
