Losing My Grandfather

by Courtney B Chiles

How do you tell someone you love goodbye?
How do you tell them you do not want them to die?
How do you let go of all the years?
How do you say goodbye through all the tears?
How can you let go of someone you care about very much?
How do you let go of a friendship no one can touch?
How do you say goodbye to someone you really love?
How do you say goodbye to someone gentle as a dove?
How do you say goodbye to someone close to your heart?
How do you say goodbye when you do not want to part?
How do you let go of all the memories?
How do you let go of someone who could always make you happy?
How can you go to visit, and him not being there?
How can you let go of someone who would always care?
How can you handle this kind of death?
How can you understand why he cannot have one more breath?
How do you tell your family how he was a great friend?
Will they be able to understand why his life had to come to an end?
Trying to live without him gets harder every day,
The only thing left to do is try to keep the memory of him from fading away.
Remembering all the times that he would watch us play,
In my dreams I can see him just as plain as day.
When I reach out for him I know that he will not be there,
I wish that I could understand why life seems so unfair.
How can this help me to no longer be weak?
I would give my life for one more hug or just to hear him speak.
He will be remembered as someone who was always sweet,
He was someone that anyone would love to meet.
He was someone who was there when he needed to be around,
It is going to be really hard to watch him being put into the ground.
It is hard to think about how I will never see him again,
I hate that I have lost my one true best friend.
Now is the time to be moving on in life,
Life will go on even though it feels like my heart has been stabbed with a knife.
I know deep down he would not want us to feel bad,
He would want us to be happy instead of being sad.
I hope that he realizes that he is someone that we will love no matter what,
I now regret all the times we fought.
It is time to finally say our last goodbye,
Even thought my love for him will never die.
