When I was younger,
You were always there for me,
You always kept me strong.

When you love someone,
You love them more than yourself,
You must set them free.

Grandpa was my name for you,
Lexi was your name for me.

This is my final goodbye,
My final so long,
This is my final farewell.

I loved you then,
I love you now,
I will love until we meet again.
