I Wish You Were Here

Here I am in a place so familiar; I've transported myself To a serene distant shore With periwinkle blue skies Hovering above my head. It's soothingly tranquil here. The sights and sounds are captivating! I hear faint mellifluous bird songs, Incessantly murmuring zephyr And the sounds of crashing waves. I watch the waves crash As I inhale the misty sea air; I feel it on my skin, but alas, It's not the same without you this time. As I watch the waves crash yonder, Exploding sky-high on jagged rocks, My mind holds only thoughts of you. We've waded into this diaphanous, Knee-deep shallows together. We stamped our footprints on these white sands Not so long ago. I feel the paradise blues Because I desperately miss you And wish you were here. Isn't this haven made for lovers anymore? This peaceful shore would be heaven Only if you were here Chasing the afternoon sun with me. Despite it's beauty, it's the loneliest place. Nature blows a sad trombone As I watch the waves crash
