I wish you had taught me how to drive the truck
I wish I had listened to your stories, no matter how crazy they were
I wish there was more time to sit together on the couch
Watching "Twilight," even though you didn’t want to
And helping me reorganize my bedroom.
Did you leave things left unsaid?
Is there anything else you want to tell me?
I have so many things that I wish I could tell you
Not even important things, you see
Just how my day went, or about the book I read.
You were amazing with boy problems
And always knew exactly what to say
You made me feel better
When I was having a bad day
Where are you now?
Are you okay where you are?
Are you hanging out with Uncle Al,
Golfing or watching the game,
Or are you watching over me
And keeping me safe?
Do you feel better now,
Or do you have a gaping hole in your heart?
I know that I do
And I try to fill the hole with art
Like poetry, but nothing makes sense anymore.
You were always there for me
I am now all alone
I do not know who I will be
I wish that I could pick up the phone
And call you, bringing you close to me.
