For the first time
a movie made me cry
I saw your personality in the character
they had the same situation as me
As I watched Big Mama on Soul Food
slowly fade away
I watched the characters let her go
but Ma-dear I cant let you go
you are my great-grandmother
the person I wanted to live my life like
People like you
are the reason I still try
to be somebody
and try to help somebody
I remember always thinking
I would move back out to the country
live near you to hear the stories
and the lessons great lives have to teach
I never thought Id have to live without you
wishing to hear your voice again
wishing to see your smile again
wishing for any part of you again
I know the tears wont bring you back but
I cant hold them in
I know holding on wont bring you to me
but letting go is giving up
and admitting you arent coming back
so Ill sit here
wishing for you to be in my life again
