SHI
I saw her in my dreams last night
She was bigger than life... So it seemed last night
A glow behind her and her feet didn't even touch the ground
As a matter of fact, she was floating in the clouds
At her feet, I bowed
As the tears quickly escaped my eyes
She picked me up and held me tight
I held on for dear life as I continued to cry
Then, I apologized, "I'm so sorry Shi... I'm so sorry Shi.
I participated in a family beef that wasn't even mine.
I wish we could have made amends before he took you from our lives.
Please forgive me for holding onto my foolish pride.
I haven't been sleeping right
I toss and turn at night
I blame myself for not being my your side."
Once my little cousin, now an angel living in the sky
Many times, I asked the Lord why... did she have to die
Her hug was the warmest thing ever, as the weights lifted off of my shoulders
I guess all I really needed was some closure
She gave one last smile, as to let me know
That all was forgiven, and I had to let her go
Because she was exactly where she belonged... Home
and it was time for me to move on, then I awoke
I swear to GOD, it was the realest conversation we never spoke...
I LOVE YOU SHI AND MISS YOU DEARLY
