Missing you



I'm sitting here wishing
You were still here too
I miss the little things
That you use to do

I miss how we talked
And laughed everyday
The way you looked
At the silly things I'd say

I miss your smile
And looking in your eyes
All I have now are memories
But they seem to make me cry

There isn't a day gone by
That I don't wish you were here
To hear your voice
And just know you are near

You'll never know how much
I miss you everyday
Since you left me
And went away

Although you went to heaven
And left me on my own
I carry your love with me
So I'm never really alone.

    Some people talk about we going to heaven when we die, but still they would cry if a love one died. The idea of a loved one being in heaven does not stop us form feeling that loss, that they are not here with us, and we miss that very much whether there is a heaven or not. It does not cease the pain we feel when a mother, or brother, or friend passes away. This poem makes me think of that.
    The poem is expressing how much that person is being missed, and that sentiment is clearly stated.
