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
