I Wish You Were Here

Its been a while since I saw you last
All we had, all we shared, is a thing of the past.
But even today, in my heart its your voice I hear
And even now, I wish you were here.

We talk everyday, anytime that is possible for us,
We're on the phone till dawn from dusk.
When you succeed, mine is the loudest cheer,
More than ever somehow, I wish you were here.

You know how I'm feeling without a word from me,
You're a thousand miles away, but you still somehow see.
You watch over me, even though we're not near,
Over and over I repeat, I wish you were here.

I close my eyes and I see your smiling face
I yearn to be with you, play a game of chase.
As the time flies by, distance becomes harder to bear,
Everynight when I pray, I wish you were here.

I still remember everything we did and said,
You've become that little voice in the back of my head;
You are there in every smile and each tear,
But right now, I wish you were here.

I miss holding your arm when I'm scared or alone.
I miss your hugs and that sweet comforting tone.
I miss how your presence dissolved away every fear,
I try not to, but I wish you were here.

You're always on my mind, its like your permanent address,
Your face is the one that flashes in moments of sadness.
Your memories somehow, to everything adhere,
And I want to let you know, I wish you were here.
