when you're gone

come with me and take my hand
share my words, heal my pain
everyday I'm crying out to you
but you don't even know,
you don't have a clue

it feels ten times longer
than reality shows
I miss your smile
I miss your eyes closed
when you kissed me

now I wander around,
day to day, night after night,
I wander as a vagabond
for each breath may be my last
as each moment filters past

I miss you

when I find the time
to stop and stare at the world around me
when I slow down I begin to comprehend
that days are precious gifts
that each revives and uplifts
my soul

I don't want to walk this road alone
the journey may be long
but the steps are simple
and I need a friend

I hope for you
I hope for today and tomorrow
I call to you
in the silence of my heart
and hope somehow
that you take my hand in yours
and walk with me awhile

for it is a long lonely trip I take
it is full of heartaches and life lessons
I miss you

if you can't take me with you,
maybe I can take your memory with me
on my journey
I start anew, today
