One Day

I can't write because I don't know what to say.
I can't live because I really don't want to stay.
I don't want to be trapped here forever.
I can't wait for life to maybe be better.

I'm sitting here with nothing to my name.
I'm sitting here and life isn't the same.
Why do we miss people more when they're permanently gone?
Why do we cry for people more when they're so far beyond?

I should have been there to care for you.
I should have been there to tie your shoes.
I could have helped you with everything.
I could have sure that you were healthy.

I failed at being a daughter and I'm sorry.
The process of being better is late at starting.
I should have done something a lot sooner.
I hope your days now are a lot bluer.

Everything reminds me of you and it's hurting me.
Everything is stressing me and no one even sees.
They don't care that I'm hurting, it seems.
I just want to stay in my lovely dreams.

At least in my dreams, I see your face.
I don't worry about filling an empty space.
You're there with me and it's complete.
Now sadness is all I have to defeat.

I know you're watching over me.
I just wish that I could see.
I wish I could see your smiling face.
I wish for a hug with no personal space.

You always told us kids to give you a kiss.
That's another thing at the top of my list.
One day I'll hear my favorite things.
One day we'll have a new beginning.
