You waited for me
to appear

Before you left you smiled
said goodbye I love you

I didn't realize
you meant goodbye
for good

So of course i smiled
kissed your cheek
hugged you tight

whispered in your ear
get better grandpa
and left

you did visit
later at night of course
i knew
before news reached me

you waited.

this is about when my grandpa had died. I had visited him in the hospital cause his heart wasn't doing good, and two days later I had a dream he visited me. The next day I found out he died in his sleep.
