It's Been 7 Years

It's been 7 years that you left us. It's been 7 years that I never heard your voice. It's been 7 years I never tasted your food. It's been 7 years that you haven't kissed me. It's been 7 years that I wished you were here because I miss you. When I go to church here and there, I always remember you. When I pray, I always remember you. When I am alone, I remember you.

It's been 7 years and I still remember the day you were rushed to the hospital. I still remember clearly how I opened my laptop and read a heartbreaking message. I called, then I cried until there were no tears coming from my eyes. I tried to run away, I tried to catch some fresh air, but I still cried, because I knew from that moment you were about to leave us. I always wished that it was a dream. I always wished that I have done something so you'll not leave us. But God called you, He called you and told you it's enough, enough of the pains you had throughout the years.

We were not a perfect family, I hope we were and I know you wanted us to be one. I felt every heartache you had, I felt the suffering you had, I felt the love you had for us, I felt that God has given you the ultimate gift to be with Him. We lost you and we all cried. We lost you and the angels sang with you. We lost you and God gave us an angel. We lost you, but you still continue to guide us.

It's been 7 years and I still remember the nights I was looking at you and prayed that you would wake up one day and give me a kiss. I still remember the nights I was looking at you, crying and asking for forgiveness for all of what I have done. I still remember the nights that I told you that I love you. I still remember the nights that I just looked at the stars praying. I still remember clearly how I cried, how I stayed every night to look at you smile because I know you are happy with God.

It's been 7 years and I still remember the moment we went to church in your final mass in your life. I still remember how I cried asking God, why did He take you away from us. I still remember how I hugged you and told you... I love you... I love you... I love you... I still remember how it was painful to have been with you and you never hear me say that I love you. I still remember how it was painful to kiss you and you never felt how I meant it. I still remember how it was painful to see you in your final moments.

It's been 7 years and I still remember when we brought you to your final resting place. I still remember how I cried and never wanting to leave you. I still remember that day, it was raining, as if the skies are crying that you left us. I still remember how I cried harder than the rain because I know it would be the last time I would see you. I still remember that I stood there alone, crying and praying that I can still see you. I still remember that I was the last one to be there.

It's been 7 years. Nanay. I miss you. I love you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being me.
