When I lay there beside you, 
Could you feel me there? 
My arms were wrapped around you, 
And I was stroking your hair. 

I was talking about all the good times, 
For me they were every single day. 
I wanted you to feel love and comfort, 
And happiness in some way. 

I watched your every breath, 
And prayed it wasn't your last. 
The time we got to share together, 
Went by too quick, too fast. 

I wanted you to wake up, 
Please Mum, open your eyes. 
Tell me this is a nightmare, 
And not truly our goodbyes. 

As your last breath drew closer,
We laid there peacefully together. 
My heard continually breaking, 
Because I wanted you forever. 

Then there it was, 
Your final breath of air. 
I didn't want to believe it, 
This is so cruel, so unfair. 

I held your beautiful face, 
And prayed you'd breath again. 
I wasn't ready for you to go, 
I couldn't admit that this was the end. 

But then I realized you were in peace, 
And not suffering anymore. 
You were beginning the life of an angel,
And your body would no longer be sore.

I held you close and squeezed you tight
And tried to say goodbye. 
I've lost my mum and best friend, 
All my heart could do was cry. 

I slowly got up, 
I wanted so much to stay. 
I leaned over and gave you a kiss, 
It was so hard to walk away. 

Mum, you are my entire world, 
And I miss you so very much. 
I wish I could feel your lovable cuddle, 
And your soft and gentle touch.

But for now I have to wait, 
Until we meet again. 
You will always be in my thoughts
My dear mum and best friend. 

Always and forever, 
Our hearts will always touch. 
Always and forever, 
Your baby girl loves you so much.
