i (L) you.

been just over a month now since youve been gone,
nanna gave me the chain you got her :-) ive only taken it off once though, it makes me feel close to you.
your funeral went well anyway, everybody was so upset. i didnt want to leave the coffin but i had to say the last goodbye at one point.
now i know what people mean by goodbyes are the hardest.
hopefully your still looking down on us all, keeping an eye on nanna.
we scattered your ashes on the 12th of this month, it went well also but nanna didnt really handle it that well, she wants you back, we all do but we know that it could never happen.. ill see you up there someday. make sure your waiting for me grandad. i love you . x x x x x x x

Waiting at the Door

I can’t explain so deep inside
The very fabric of my soul
Only a heart that grieves such loss
Can ever truly understand

It’s like you’re waiting at the door
Until a loved one comes back home
You feel a longing in your heart
When they appear the longing stops

But in a loss that never ends
You’re always standing at that door
You feel the longing in the breeze
So incomplete and never filled

I cannot find the words to say
Just what it’s like to want forever
Never seeing them again
Just always waiting at the door
