Wishing You Were Here

Every now and then I think of you And those parts of you that live in me That will never be the same. Because of you, my life today Aims in a different direction No place that could ever lead me back whole Can't remember the last time I felt the need To embrace laughter without it being Forced out of me or the last time I could honestly say I felt complete. All I know is that when in silence I begin to weep My heart's rhythm lulls forming songs with its pangs that are So painfully melodic You are nowhere to be found but in Everything I see, embrace and feel You are ever so present still; In those obscure places of my soul That out of pure necessity have somehow Managed to remain intact You were my joy, my strength My weakness, my hope to ever fill this void Only the gentle whisper of the wind can remind me of Those tender moments you and I once shared That plethora of wonders recanted Through promises broken What's left of us I wore a diamond you gave as a token We were indeed kindred souls That love could not save I reach out to you and all I can find Is traces of emptiness ever so cruel ever so kind My only wish is for God to allow me, as day turns into night To help me find comfort as I close my weary eyes Is to find you there in my dreams For only through this, could our lives ever again In faithfulness entwine
