Leaving you behind was hard,

I miss you,

I love you,

I wish you were here to share these times with me,

Homecoming,

Prom,

Fun days,

Sad days,

This was supposed to be the best thing for me,

I don't see how,

I am supposed to be happy,

I am not,

I need you with me,

There are rivers of tears flowing down my cheeks,

I am wondering where I will go now

with my late night and early morning talks,

Where will I go with my crushes,

Where will I go when my heart is crushed,

Mother dear,

Why does this feel so wrong in my heart,

But is so right for me?

I need to know,

Please tell me while you hold me

in my dreams tonight.
