It’s been several years, yet I’m still waiting, As if the phone might ring at any moment. What hurts the most is what will never be again— Your voice, the words that chased away my every fear. Mom… I’d give up everything for just one more moment, To hold you close and hear your laughter once again. To tell you how deeply I love you, And that you taught me how to live. If you can hear me somewhere up in heaven, Please come to me, if only once, in my dreams. Though I’ve learned how to live without you, This endless longing will remain forever. There was still so much I wanted to tell you… About my life, my dreams, my days. I miss hearing you say, “I’m here,” Whenever life steals all my strength away. Mom… I’d give up everything for just one more moment, To hold you close and hear your laughter once again. To tell you how deeply I love you, And that you taught me how to live. If you can hear me somewhere up in heaven, Please come to me, if only once, in my dreams. Though I’ve learned how to live without you, This endless longing will remain forever. Sometimes I cry in silence so no one can see, Because I can’t explain how much your absence hurts. There’s a place inside me that nothing can ever fill, Because it has always belonged to you. I’ve learned to love you from afar. To heaven, I still send one simple prayer: “Mom… please watch over me.”
