Finally, the bells ring
Telling me that my time is done.
My work for the day is over.
Yet something is missing.

I take my walk once again.
Still down the same path,
Still to the same destination.
The little hopes float through my mind.
Still something was missing.

I walk on with a smile on my face,
Happily talking with people I call friends.
But I know it's not real,
And I know that there's no point in hoping.
Things will never be the same.
I know what's missing

Here I am, at the usual spot
But you were no longer there.
Why don't you wait for me anymore?
Why can't we even look at each other?
And why do I still care?

I know what's missing.
I miss your smile, your gaze
I miss the sound of your voice
Our friendship is gone,
Without it I loose my smile.
And I loose you
It's you that I'm missing

I know you were there waiting for me
Yet I could not reach you
How could I be kept away from you?
I'm sorry that I'm not there...

This is one of those little moments
That I don't tell you about
When I truly need you with me
When I most desire your arms around me.
When I'm in so much pain
And there's no one to talk to.
And all I want to do is be with you.

But no, there's nothing but a mere thought.
Not a warm body to run to and hug
Or an empty shoulder waiting to be cried on…
Just a thought of you and wishing you were here.

Although I am sad and angry
And I try to calm myself down
Not a single tear is shed
No cries escape my mouth
All I want to do to release the pain
Is scream till I feel the emptiness.

Yet if I scream I'd draw attention
And the only one I want attention from
Is the only one that has never hurt me
All I want is you.

So forbidden to cry through my coldness
And afraid to scream through isolation
I sit thinking of my emotions
Left for the pain to settle
And rot my soul to nothing.
Why can't I reach you when I need you?
