For years...
I have waited...
Longing for your voice...
Your touch...
Your smile...

For years...
I yearned...
Wandered...
Prayed...

And now...
With you so close...
Yet so far away...
I can't speak...

I can't tell you...
What I need to tell you...
I missed you...
I need you...
I love you...

For to tell you that...
You may leave me again...
Perhaps forever...
A chance I can't take...

No, perhaps not now...
Perhaps...not forever...
I will have to keep these things...
Inside, where they slept...

If only I could see you...
Hold you...
Feel you...
Maybe even love you...

Like we used to do...
When we were innocent...
And young...
Long ago in that place...

My friend...
How I've missed you...
Your voice...
Your smile...

The memories seem...
So far away now
So fleeting...
They are...

I want to tell you...
I want to say everything...
Tell you...what happened
To have your shoulder once more...

But I can not...
For physically you are still...
Not here...
You are there...

I missed you, my friend...
Nary a day went by...
Without thoughts of you...
My friend...

To see you...
To hold you...
To feel you...
To say...
"I love you"...

Only in my dreams...
May I ever say such things...
Nay, perhaps...
Never will such things be said...
