Dear Mom

So many things were left unsaid
So many things inside your head
I see you're feeling so alone
These were things I should have known

Every time I think about you
And every time I close my eyes
I pray that everything will be okay
So many things I wish you knew
So many things I hope to do
To show you I love you
Before we say goodbye

You taught me everything I know
That's why I'm never letting go
We didn't always get along
Both so stubborn, both so wrong
Gave me your smile and your blue eyes
And so much more I realize
I wish I'd wake up from this nightmare
And that you'd be standing right there
Smiling back at me

Every time I think about you
And every time I close my eyes
I pray that everything will be okay
So many things I wish you knew
So many things I hope to do
To show you I love you
Before we say goodbye

Every time I think about you
And every time I close my eyes
I pray that everything will be okay
So many things I wish you knew
So many things I hope to do
To show you I love you
Before we say goodbye

This is not goodbye
