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
