PANTOUM

Alone is how I feel
Not knowing when I’ll ever see you again
Time is what I’m constantly looking at
I look up and see you

Not knowing when I’ll ever see you again
Waiting impatiently
Days go by as I look at the calendar
I count the days you’ve been gone

Waiting impatiently
I miss you so much
Your uplifting spirit was what made my days
But now you’re gone

I miss you so much
You died so young
I sit and think of how things might have been
Wondering who you would have grown up to be

You died so young
Memories flash back in my head
Seven years ago
You’re always in my heart
Memories flash back in my head
One day I will see you again
That bright smile that lit up a room
Funniest little boy I knew

One day I will see you again
Until that day comes
I will never forget you
And I will always look up and smile
