Letting You Go by KitKatrina

I'm lost in a world that's changing fast,
I'm afraid this moment will not last,
It's like yesterday you were right here,
Smiling at me and having no fear,
Then before I could blink you went home,
After that day I felt so alone,
I saw you at the church in your bed,
So many thoughts went through my head,
I miss you so much and I can't bare it any longer,
I know I'm 14, but I can't be any stronger,
I'm only a little girl and without her dad,
It's really hard for me and it makes me sad,
I love you so much Dad, but I know you're above,
I know this because I can feel your love,
You looked so peaceful lying still,
I didn't know just what to feel,
Sad, happy, angry with god for taking you,
I wish he would had taken me too,
I got to pick out the outfit you wore,
No tux because you never wore one before,
We dressed you like you, just yourself,
Because you are you and no one else,
A whole year has already passed,
Everything is moving way too fast,
You said you needed permission to go,
And I'm not sure if I can say no,
So YES dad it is your time,
And I am sure I will do just fine,
So now I'm giving you permission to leave,
But still you must give me my time to grieve,
We love you dad and we'll meet again,
So I will hold back my tears until then,
So I can pour my heart out to you,
Then you can pour out your heart too!

Thank you Terrie. Your kind words help out a lot. I'm sorry for you loss as well. Sometimes it is hard to go on with your life when your loved ones can't go on with you. But all you can do is try your hardest and just remember the good times. Thanks for your comments guys, they are greatly needed! ~Trina
