Wish you were here - part1

by mckenzie   Aug 31, 2009


Do you remember what it was like
Oh, the time we were in love
Holding on so dearly for all it was worth
We would have given everything

And the days never seemed enough
When my every breath was to see your smile
The beauty of your face
Your hair, your lips and your eyes

You were perfect

And the nights seemed too long
When one call could never be enough
So you held on to the picture of me
That you've always kept so close to your heart

I remember how everyday you said you missed me
And you wished that you were here
Then when you were I'd hold you in my arms
Never wanting to let you go

I'd tell you I loved you
And everything else would just fade away

When I was with you

    You were perfect

    *I love this line. I know it's very simple but it says alot to me. I can remember thinking people were perfect than they hurt me.*

    And the nights seemed too long
    When one call could never be enough
    So you held on to the picture of me
    That you've always kept so close to your heart

    This is very beautifully written. =) You have a talent, and I can't wait to read the next part (this is only part 1, right?). Please continue it if it is, I'd like to read what else you have to say about this unknown person.

    P.S. Thanks for the comments =)

    Ouchh..the pain was beautifully highlighted. Deana was right it was very softly written yet filled with tons of emotions. Keep writing..:-)

    I would have to say i am in the same mood of writing currently although we expressed it somehow differently through words usage. I tried not to show the emotions too much but lol i think i failed.

    For some reason, i dont know why the name sounds familiar to me...
