Wishful Thinking

As I sit here, wishing he was here
Trickling down my face, are tears
I kept thinking, maybe it's not true
When's this nightmare through?

Had seen his name on different sites 
Start to feel really uptight
Kept thinking maybe I am right
Some day he will be standing in sight

If this only could have been true 
I wouldn't feel the way I do
still have my brother here, too
if only people knew
