My insides pulse and strain as my mind remembers. 

I desperately try to divert my attention somewhere else, anywhere else. 

I glance out the window to the sun, and I find solace in the fact that I know it's you. 

 

The throbbing of my head hasn't stopped,

And the tears continue to stream down my cheeks. 

I desperately try to divert my attention somewhere else, anywhere else. 

I glance to my side and am greeted with the brilliant reflection on the full moon,

and I find solace in the fact that I know it's you. 

 

Hours later,

I sift through memories.

I no longer want to stop the crying,

I no longer try to divert my mind.

The pain reminds me how important

You were and still are to me.

 

And I love and miss you dearly. 

 

I'll see you in the funny papers, Grandpa D.
