Its all hitting me at once
If i knew that was the last time i was going to see you
I would have hugged you harder and reassured my love had only gotten stronger
Even when the disease in your brain took my person away
I never forgot that shred of you that still remained, That shred of you that would take me to the park to play games
As a youngin but now id be frontin’ If i told you i cried when i heard the news
Because now as the decision to pull the plug comes closer
The tears in my eyes seem to flow with more force so
Yeah, Its all hitting me at once.
I prayed and prayed for your well state
From the minute you were diagnosed back in the 7th grade and we took you in to give you a place to stay
But i told God that this life for you is misery
Imagine if you ended up losing your memory
And now i regret it because i feel guilty like it was because of me
Like if i was in that lobby maybe i could have caught you
You told me your time was coming but i lacked to take it seriously
Your Dementia and Alzheimer’s would make you say anything
But i just want you to know that i just want your soul to glow and grow
And if you’ve reached past this mortal humanly ground than i understand if you have to go
Although i wish i could keep you around it still feels selfish somehow
90 summers you’ve lived
so safe travels if you end up with kin in the sky and tell them all that the kid said hi.
