Missing You

When peace cannot be found
And sleep won’t visit me at night,
I think of all the times we’ve shared
Of holding each other tight.
The days we’ve spent together
And endless nights on the phone,
Are now replaced by lonely times
Unhappy and alone.
Thoughts of you constantly fill my mind
Your face is all I see,
I wonder who you might be clinging to
Tonight instead of me.
Though letters can carry hope and strength
And bring ecstatic smiles,
I can’t help noticing the distance is worlds apart Across the longest miles.
The wealth of memories you left
Reminds me of how very apart we are,
Oh, how I would give the world
Just to be where you are.
