I see Now

I can still hear you saying my name,

But now it’s just not the same,

I can hear you lauhter down the hall,

as I sit and stare at a chalk white wall,

I see you rubbing the sleep from your eyes,

and the look on you face of total suprise,

When I told you to stay home,

because I did not wish to be there alone,

I can see the bus picking you up,

and I laugh when you try act tough,

your friends think that your so cool,

when you try to act just like a fool,

I see the sadness on you face,

when I told you your pet was in another place,

I can see the joy and smile return again,

when I told you I had met a new friend,

I can see the happiness on your face,

When I told you about our brand new place,

I hold you close and I draw you near,

I whisper I love you in your ear,

I can see how much you mean to me,

Now I wish you could help me see,

Just why you had to go away,

And why you were not allowed another day,

I cry from deep inside,

I know you were full of pride,

With all these things that I could see,

Why can’t I see you here with me?….
