Laughter no longer has the meaning
That it once had when you were here with me.
Life no longer seems worth living.
Since you’ve been gone, I’m full of misery.
I wish that I could change
Decisions that I’ve made.
The paths we’ve taken have led us apart.
I wish there was some way
To have you here with me.
I need your love to mend my broken heart.
Someday, I know we’ll be together.
Though it may be some time before we are.
I know I’ll love you forever,
Although right now it must be from afar.
I wish that we could be
Together for all time,
Instead of us being so far apart.
I wish that you were here
So I could call you mine.
Only your love can mend my broken heart.
