Mi Angel en el Cielo
Mi Angel en el Cielo
If I were given 3 wishes
I would use my first one without a doubt
Just to be able to hold you once again
To hear your soft voice say
Mi nena
Sitting and waiting by the front door
Just to be the first one
To run into your arms
Hug you tight
Sensing a feeling of comfort with you
If I had known
That it was going to be my last time
To hug you
To see you
To feel your touch
I would’ve held you longer and not let go
To have the clarity of having you by my side for the rest of my life
From birthday parties to family gatherings, or just normal days
You treated me like a princess
Your princess, your nena
Not being able to see you or even hear your reassuring voice
Not being able to say te quiero one last time
Hurt me deep down
That Saturday morning was gloomy and beautiful
I got sat on the couch for the news
The second I found out that you passed away
That was the moment my whole world ended
I crumbled and broke down
My face flooded with tears of pain
I knew I would never be the same
Nothing would be the same without the best person in our lives
Knowing I couldn’t be by your side when you passed
Killed me inside
It left me with an unbearable feeling that no one could imagine
I just want to thank you
Thank you for all those lifelong lasting memories
Thank you for being an amazing person for me growing up
Thank you for painting the sky beautiful during hard days
Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on and feel comfort in your warm arms
Thank you for watching over me and protecting me from up above
Thank you for making me your nena
Te quiero grandpa
