Always, Forever More, and After

Yesterday you kissed my cheek
You told me I was your favorite
You hugged me tight and long
Said you loved me, never to forget it

Today I heard the news
Today my whole world came tumbling down
And I'm still trying to comprehend
That you'll no longer be around

Now I am wishing I gave you 1 more kiss
Regretting ever letting go
And your laughter still rings deep
In my heart, it echos

Your eyes are still sparkling
Full of life and happiness
For thats how I last saw you
The last memory in this emptiness

And tomorrow you wont be here
But you'll live forever in my heart
For the memories that you and me made
Will keep you near me and not apart

But the pain I feel is too strong
To soon to heal and move on
I still expect you to walk into the room
Explaining it was a joke all along

And yeah I know its not forever
That one day we will meet again
I just didn't expect you to leave so soon
This wasnt supposed to be the end

You've left behind so many
That loved you more than we let you know
We are all wishing we had 1 more minute
To tell you just how much, before you go

I know you'll be watching over us
Like you did when you were here
Yet at this moment, thats little comfort
For our hearts are blinded with tears

And eventually the tears will dry
The pain will become less and less
We will keep you close at heart
Remembering that in everything, you were the best

Your daughters could confirm this
Your fatherly love they did not lack
You were always there for them
Never too far to come right back

Your family is still crying, devastated
Trying to understand why this was so
Your mother, your brothers, sisters
Your countless nieces and nephews

We are all just trying to cope with this
Trying to be as strong as you were
You'll always be remembered and missed
Always, Forever More, and After...
