Today was a good day,
I only wish I could tell you,
But you are a million miles away,
Even though I'm right here next to you.
***
Only soil between us,
Nothing can make you closer,
Not even the strong power of love,
Day by day you feel even further away.
***
From your voice,
To the caugh you made,
I miss your every wise advice,
Especally on nights like tonight.
***
From a call away,
To a one way prayer,
I wish you could have stayed,
Now I just have to wonder if you are there.
***
Today was amazng,
You would have heard,
Even if it was a wild ride,
If you had answered the call.
***
But you didn't,
Instead I sit and pray,
To you out there hidden,
Knowing you can't answer.
