I see you in my dreams and wonder if you are ever coming back.. I wonder if you miss me just as much as I miss you, Ever since you've been gone I ask myself why you? Why did god take? I remember the day you told me you wished you were dead, I was a little girl but those words stayed on my head I never thought that one day your wish would be with you, You have no idea of how much I need you..The last time I saw you was two days ago in my dream, You hugged me and I kissed you, But it was just a dream, I woke up and you were gone but you are always in my heart, There are many things I want to share with you abuelita, Things that I can only tell you, You were the only person who couldn’t judge me for being me, Although I am not perfect in your eyes I was, It's hard to deal with my parents expectations it's just never seems to be good enough, I cry and often ask god to take me with you but he seems to be ignoring me, or who knows they say that the teachers are always quite during the test, Every night when I go night night I wish for us to reunite, I know you are in heaven now but can you come visit me now?Te quiero y extraño abuelita, I love you and I miss you.

There’s so many things I’ve been meaning to tell you, Haven’t really figured out why I haven’t done so. Maybe I’m scared You’re always there for me, I’m just never home. Where to begin, I have no clue Hahahaha Sorry pops, but you have no clue. Thanks for teaching me so much, Your hair is super curly, while mines kind of wavy. Why could that be? You’re always so honest, why must I be so shady! I lie, here and there, there and here, where could I be, I am not always near. I’ve gone out of state, you don’t even know. I almost made you a grandfather, UGHHHH she’s such a whore, that I know! I lurk in the shadows, I do so much wrong I’ve done so many bad things that you don’t even know I have 2 felonies, now that you know, your little boy so mischievous, hope that you Know.
