I Cry For You

I cry for you
almost every night
when I look at your picture
it doesn't feel right.

When I heard what happened
I didn't think it was bad
but when I got to the waiting room
everybody was sad.

We waited for you to get better
two nights and one day
when we heard bad news
all we could do was pray.

We had a chance to go see you
and talk to you too
when I got in the room
I didn't know what to do.

I couldn't move
and I couldn't speak
you looked so helpless
you looked so weak.

Sam told you she loved you
I felt the same way
I couldn't get a word out
I didn't know what to say.

I went to your funeral
I saw all that was there
I finally realize
people really do care.

So many of them
said something good about you
and by the tone in their voice
I could tell it was true.

Mark...you seemed to me more a brother than a cousin..and what made losing you so hard..was the experience of waiting in the hospital for what we knew was going to be more bad news..I regret not saying anything to you when they let us in the room..I just couldn't get the words out...and now all I can say is that I love you..miss you..and I don't understand why it had to be this way!
Love Always~
