Today, 15 years ago
i sat at the edge of your bed
all night long, waiting, listening
for a night that would never end
I heard you talk
I heard you breath
at one point you asked me
why you were here...
we laughed and talked
until daybreak grew closer
i dont know if you heard me
or even understood what we talked about
some of the conversations we had
didnt make any sense at the time
was it a dream or reality
altho i cherished every word
as i walked away just as i had done the morning before
i kissed you softly said i love you, momma
you looked at me
smiled and said i love you too
i told you i will see you soon
you told me to get some rest
i went home, layed down
only to wake up scared out of my mind...
i rushed back to see you
as i saw your face
you smiled a wide smile
you told me im glad you are back
you asked me to come closer
and so i did, not noticing all the other people in your room
you quietly said, I'm gonna go now...
i jokingly said, Ok mom you go, and by the way, where are we going????
you told me to come closer...
i did as you asked
so close to you, i could feel your breath...
you said, where i am going you cant go yet...
i told you that i will follow you
you told me no,
you said you were ready
to embrase your next journey...
i told you ok, But i will see you soon,
as my journey ends with yours
you said no... this is one i have to do on my own
it not your time she softly said to me
your last words to me...
i love you, my daughter....
My time is done...
and make sure you give your brother a birthday cake... LOL
I LOVE YOU MOM....
and miss you more and more everyday!
