Never forget

It occurred suddenly
Right before my eyes
You simply withered away
From this earth, gone.

Abundant tears fall
Down my baffled eyes
For I lacked the very time
To wish you a proper goodbye.

You were special to me
A grandmother yet so much more
Someone I looked up to
Someone I truly cared about.

I know you're probably
In a much better place now
Your suffering ended abruptly
And left us selfishly wanting you back.

I will never forget
These moments we shared together
I will never forget
Your memory will last forever.

I will never forget
For you were part of me
I will never forget
You still mean the world to me.

In my deep state of sorrow
I put down those clumsy words
Hoping they will reach you someday
And let you know how I loved you.

You were always hard on me
Yet I always knew you cared
I've done so much to make you proud
Of your grandson, of who  I am.

I will deeply miss you
Tears have not yet dried
For the love I have for you
Has doubled, reignited
