**** cuz it's been a whole month since I seen you
We were out for a family gathering but I only seen you passing through
No hello. no goodbyes
So I cry
Why?
So miserable to think when I saw you again I would be over your casket
The situation is so hectic
I want to pull you back but I'm reluctant
You're at peace now, you had to go when God beckon
But knowing that does not stop these cries in this church I reckon
It does not stop us from thinking you were taken so early
Your life was ended so suddenly
Death is never happy because that loved one will never be seen again daily
At least not physically
Maybe mentally
But it's not the same and it hurts me critically
To know my beloved cousin Erika was taken so brutally
And fatally
It messing with me mentally
To know one day you're here and the next you're gone
But what hurts the most is I was not there for you your last day, i was at home
Our relationship wasn't the tightest but you're family and you always come before any other one
I never got to say goodbye before you were gone
I can only now think of you when I'm alone
And now it's killing me because I didn't know you enough
I didn't your favorite color and I never bought your little boy stuff
Hearing the news about your death tore me down but it taught me something too
It taught me that family is too near and dear for you to waste time apart boo
You gotta spend all the time you can together because you never know when they will end up like you
I love you cuz, and I will sincerely miss you too
Thank you cuz for teaching me something that I should have BEEN knew
Save a spot up there for me and the whole family too
I know when I see you again I will probably spend ALL MY TIME WITH YOU
