I Miss You Abuelita

If i would have know today was your last day
i would have prayed the lord to never take you away
just to see you smile again would bring these tears to an end
i would ask for a kiss and nothing more
if i knew it would be the last time i saw you walking out the door
if i would have known today was the last day with you
tomorrow id pray for a case of de ja vu
or at least to make sure that you knew how i loved you
and all the long talks and hugs we shared i hope you never forget
for they were the last chance my heart will get
as we watched your eyes close and forever sleep,
i promised you, your stories and love id forever keep.
as you cried your last words to me ever so softly
a little tear splashed on your chest and struck me like lightening
for if i would have known today was your last day,
id steal your pain, and allow you, not me to stay.
