I'm away from home and I miss my family so much, especially my Mama. I've never been vocal about how I much I appreciated her being around. Pls R & R.

I told you I love you.

It was supposed to be enough.

Now it's not.

Not when

I'm miles away.

Not when my heart is astray.

Looking for you

Yearning for your caress.

I took you for granted.

Now, I regret.

All the words left unsaid.

I said you were beautiful.

Maybe once, twice.

Never enough.

I said you cooked the best meal

Twice, thrice, never enough.

You gave me smile

I gave you tears.

You gave me comfort

All I could give was sorrow.

And now.

Now, I can't even stay by your side.

And it's tearing me inside.

All I can do is cry.

I want to tell you that you're beautiful.

I want to tell you you're the best cook.

I want to tell you you're the best of everything.

Mama, you are my best.

And I love you, but it will never be enough.

Because you would always love me twice as much.
