Words cannot say what I want to express,
The pain I endure everyday now...
"Grandma isn't here right now, please leave a message..."
She'll never get that message now.
Grandma, I love you.. I miss you... I wish you were here.
Saturday's come and passed and it took you also.
I miss you.
I want you home...
Can I be with you in my dreams?
Forever???
Please answer me soon.
Do you still love me, even though we've never talked much?
I still love you.
I miss you...
I'm sorry, Grandma.
I'm so sorry for everything:
The cancer...
My jealousy...
Your pain and suffering.
I hope you find peace and your Heaven soon.
I guess I'll see you again in a few decades.
Bye.
Decades.
Almost an eternity...
G one with the wind can be my sorrows, but in
R eality they'll return.
A lways they'll haunt me,
N ever to cease their torment;
D aring me to live in
M akebelieve
A nd to forget the rest of my life.
Author notes
My grandmother passed away on June 28th. I miss her so much now, and never had a real moment to tell her I love her. Everyday since then, she's been on my mind. I smile on the outside, but inside it hurts. Don't waste the moment when you can really give love. I regret that I did.

Wow...you totally deserve a trophy for this! This write is so emotional. I'm so so sorry to hear about your loss. I didn't get to say goodbye to my grandma when she passed away a year ago and I regret not being able to say the things I wanted to. Reading this poem brought up those feelings again. You are quite the talented writer. I look forward to reading more from you.
