Just my Uncle and me

Folder: 
2005

everytime I said "I love you" I was only scratching the surface

of a deeper meaning that held a certain kind of important purpose

everytime I hugged you I was only showing a portion of my love

cause nothing that I could do or say would ever be enough

I could never possiblly show you how much you meant to me

how you were one of the most imporant people in my world you see

everytime I cried cause you were gone it was only a sideview of what I felt

cause when I think about all that happened my heart starts to slowly melt



chrous

I think about that time on the beach when we walked hand in hand

I watched the sunset for the first time as we walked across the sand

I think about that time you told our waiter I thought he was hot

and how the waiter said he had a girlfriend and everyone laughed a lot

I think about all the times you called me an icky girl when we talked on the phone

I think about how there was nothing I looked forward to more than you coming home

and I look at all the pictures and I just see

so many times shared with you, just my Uncle and me



all the cards and letters I sent to you all the time to show you I cared

every phone call I made to you just to say "hi, I love you" could never compare

to how blessed I was to know you and how proud I am to say you were my Uncle

and how happy I am to hold these memories close to my heart sweet as honey suckle

and every time I say "I miss you" doesn't even describe how much I really do

and although Heaven is better than anything I could have ever given to you

I wish that you could come back so that I could see you again

and give one more hug to such a wonderful Uncle and friend

I absolutely love this poem/song.

I was in tears because this poem reminds me of my Uncle David who died as well.

Thank you for writing this, I really needed to cry.
