Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again

You were once

My one companion...

You were all

That mattered...

You were once

A friend and father-

Then my world

Was shattered...

Wishing you were

Somehow here again...

Wishing you were

Somehow near...

Sometimes it seemed,

If I just dreamed,

Somehow you would

Be here...

Wishing I could

Hear your voice again...

Knowing that I never would...

Dreaming of you

Won't help me to do

All that I dream I could...

Passing bells

And sculpted angels,

Cold and monumental,

Seem,for you

The wrong companions-

You were warm and gentle...

Too many years

Fighting back tears...

Why can't the past

Just die...?

Wishing you were

Somehow here again...

Knowing we must

Say goodbye...

Try to forgive...

Teach me to live...

Give me the strength

To try...

No more memories,

No more silent tears...

No more gazing across

The wasted years...

Help me say goodbye...
