So almost 2 years ago I lost my best friend to cancer...It Struck Unexpectedly,Quickly...She was gone before I knew it and before I could accept it. It was my grandmother, a woman who had alot to do with my upbringing. She was my best friend in this whole entire world. Someone who I could go to for ANYTHING...Me and her had a connection that most of the family did not have, lets just say that caused alot of jealousy from my family for this...anyways...she was diagnosed july 5th 2006 (which happens to be today)...she had the surgery Aug 16th and then lost her battle oct. 16th. Its been hell these past 2 years without her. Its been almost 2 years that I have not regained my faith.........
Anyways I was listening to the radio and it started playing Mariah Careys song "Bye Bye". Its a great song that makes me smile and cry at the same time lol. You see although I had to tell my Wuela (Grandma in spanish) Goodbye physically, I will never have to say Goodbye spiritually...
Wuela.....this is for you
"Bye Bye"
This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye
As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes
On Sunday mornings, and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through
All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show because
You loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today face to face
[Chorus:]
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
"I wish I could talk to you for awhile"
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by
And soon as you reach a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And I'm right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye
(Bye Bye [3x])
Bye bye
And you never got the chance to see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together
I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave to me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever
[Chorus]
(bye bye bye bye bye bye [3x])
Bye bye
This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man, or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye
[Chorus]
