Gone For Now
I wish you were here with me right now
I wish you were around
so you could wipe away my frown
Wishing all of this is fun to think
knowing that you’re gone
makes everything seem blank
I wish we could sing like we once did
I wish we could laugh
like we did as kids
I wish I could hold you in those quietest of nights
keeping you safe and telling you it’s alright
Holding back my tears
as I wipe them away
as our passion with each other
slowly drifts away
I wish we could say
I love you again
even though in my heart
those days are gone and away
I know my passion for you
can only be expressed in these rhymes
as I wish I could see you
one last time
I’m wishing you all the best
in your journey ahead
wanting you to know
there’s so much left unsaid
I wish we could see that sunset glow
on that ridge where we sat
feeling that lust seeing you glow
realizing my heart is forever trapped
I wish all these things were really
the truth
but honestly
I wish I was with you
