You never said I'm leaving

You never said goodbye.

You were gone before I knew it

And only God knows why.

A million times I needed you.

A million times I cried

If love alone could have saved you

You never would have died.

In death I love you still.

In my heart you hold a place

That no one could ever fill

It broke my heart to lose you

But you didn't go alone for part of me went with you.

The day God took you home.

I love you every time my heart beats.

Your Big Sis. Quita
