Goodbye to the Good Times

It took everything inside of me to not scream at your funeral

Because I'm angry at all the things I can't change

I miss the days when it was just you and me

when we played pirates by the sea

and when you held me when I scraped my knee

you told me "don't fear your whole life's in the hand of God"

I was young and thought it was odd,

but all I could do was smile and nod

I hugged you with my tiny arms and said "we'll always be together."

you looked at me with your hand on my cheek and whispered "forever."

but you lied to me, didn't you?

a small part of me knew

but I had hoped it wasn't true

you pushed me away in the end

and the space between us is something that won't mend

but I don't think I can ever truly say goodbye

If I do, it's gonna hurt worse since you're not here to hug me when I cry.
