I need you here today
So you can yell at me
So I can fight with you
So you can hug me when I cry
I need you here today
So you can take me shopping
So you can be my best friend
So I can tell you about boys
I need you here today
to say "I love you Jazz"
to ask "how was you're day"
and to just see the smile on your face
I need you everyday of my life
to get all the time I can't have
to get a chance at happiness
and to have a chance to call you "Mom"
I just NEED you all the time

The author's comments:
Realizing all the things I will miss with my Mom. Realizing that I will never get a chance to do any of these things with her. Realizing that I will never talk to or see her again. The moment of truth inspired me to write this.
