Grampy

It's too unreal.

Looking down at your still form.

Lying in this black box,

surrounded by loved ones.

But, I'm oblivious to everyone else.

Right now, it's just you and me.

It can't be real grampy.

You can't be dead.

I can't accept it.

I love you too much, you can't be dead.

It just isn't fair grampy.

I can still remember your warm, caring face.

The way you laugh.

The way you cry.

The way you talk

The way you seemed to make everything right when I'd be in tears.

Please just let it be a dream.

But I know it isn't.

It hurts that i can never see you again.

It hurts that i can't have a second chance to know you better.

Maybe someday we can see each other again.

When we do, I'll take you up on that hike through the woods that you promised.

When I do see you someday, I't will be the happiest day of my life.

I love you grampy.

I miss you.
