But You are not Here.....

everyday,
I gaze into the ocean
as it calls out to me,
and I wish you were here
to hold my hand,
stepping out together
into the haunting stillness;
but you are not here.

everyday,
I close my eyes
as the wind bellows to me,
and I wish you were here
to rest my head
on your chest
as we sing our song together;
but you are not here.

everyday,
I  close my eyes
as the river reeds wave out to me,
and I wish you were here
so you and I
could hold each other close,
moving through a slow dance;
but you are not here.

everyday I wish
I could make you feel,
Life flowing through us,
never to return?
oh, how I wish to call out to you,
and not wait for you
to live your life,
while giving up my own...
