Touch The Sky


She held my hand and whispered that she never did enough
I listened up because I hadn't seen her in some months
I moved away at eighteen, our relationship kinda changed
Only saw her on holidays, or if family members got engaged
My grandmother... She blamed herself for us losing touch
Couldn't bring myself to tell her that I used to make excuses up
Her smile a mix of calm and worried, I held her and lied down
Knowing all that mattered is that we're both here right now
I whispered "I love you," and wrapped her cold hands up in mine
A tear fell from her eye, and her soul touched the sky...
