For Bubby

My heart has been broken into pieces,
I have shed a thousand tears,
Some days tend to be harder than others,
Those days are those which I wish you were still here.

Everything was so sudden,
A single phone call, no good byes.
It hasn't gotten any easier,
I'm still left wondering why you had to die.

You were so many things to me,
You meant so very much,
I wish that for just another moment,
I could still feel your touch.

I never got to say goodbye,
So many thoughts were left unsaid.
I still have so many thoughts,
Running through my head.

You were more than just an uncle,
A father figure, a friend,
You felt like my brother,
I miss the guidance you use to lend.

Since you have been gone,
So many things have changed.
Things have been topsy turvy,
Everything's been rearranged.

Randall and I are married,
We have our own place.
We have two loving cats,
But I still miss your warm embrace.

This year it'll make three years,
Since God called you home,
But Bubby I still miss you,
I wish you were still home.

Maybe I'm just being jealous,
But some days I can't remember your voice,
Other days I'm a little luckier,
Those days I rejoice.

I miss the sound of your laugh,
I miss the way we would joke,
I miss everything about you,
It feels like it's went up in smoke.

So before I start breaking down again,
Before I cause myself to cry,
Just know I'm thinking of you,
Still wondering why...

I love you Bubby and I wish you were still here.
