The hardest goodbye



Sixteen years back , when you took me in your arms
I knew I was blessed by an angel of heart
Took care of me , fed me and portrayed love like art
I thought it would never end , we would never be apart .


They said that you’re with the angels , I understood you’re at home
I didn’t want to be away from you , not like this , not all alone
I accepted my fate , leaving my heart full of hate , for days not a bite of food I ate
I still cannot seem to say goodbye , those memories hit and drop tears down my eyes


Those memories I still remember
How could I forget that month of December
Dressed up as Santa , bought me a lot of gifts
In that dress I gave u a hug , that dress barely fits
Now I have no one , nobody who would slowly move their hands up my hair , who would me endlessly and showed a lot of care
It’s just me now with my feelings locked in a box .



The hardest thing I had to do was say goodbye to you
You shall always thrive in my heart
My soulmate , my grandma from you , I’ll never be apart
If heaven has a door , then I want to open it too , anything I shall do to be with you



Like every journey , even yours has come to an end
No matter how hard it is , I have to , I have to accept my fate
I hope we see each other again
In every life , I hope you’re my grandma ,
there will never be anyone else like you.


If you’re watching me from heaven I hope you’re proud , we shall meet again without a doubt
The hardest goodbyes are the ones which are never said , wish I could go back and make things better with the times we shared
Grandma you’re my everything , the memories I have with you shall never fade .
