Now that you're gone, I can only see your face.

I long to hear you speak, see you smile, feel your embrace.

Though you're in a better place, I just can't let it go.

I will always miss you, more than you will ever know.

I feel so empty without you here.

This has always been my biggest fear,

I knew that I'd lose you at some point in time,

But not so young, not at your prime.

I look back now, remembering all the good,

I never told you I loved you like I should,

I regret all the fights, and the hurtful words said,

I feel more broken with every tear shed.

It feels like just yesterday I held your hand,

Now you're gone like footprints washed in the sand.

I wish I had one more chance to look into your eyes,

I know this will be my toughest of goodbyes.

You were the most beautiful person, inside and out.

You are my hero, without a doubt.

You fought and stayed strong right to the end,

Not only were you my mother, but you were my best friend.

You gave me life and you gave me love,

And I know you'll watch over me from above.

My guardian angel, my protector in the sky,

I will miss you every second until the day I die.

I love you so much, with all of my heart

I can't stand that we have to be apart,

I know I'll meet you again someday,

And only then will this pain go away.
