I wish you could see
The pains I go through everyday
How much I miss you, I wish my words
could say
I wish you could see
The restlessness within
How this heart suffers like it has
committed some sins
I wish you could see
The tears behind the smile that I
conceal
The way it tears me apart, how every
moment of life I deal
I wish you could see
The longing I suffer for you
Those times when I do not know how to
survive through
I wish you could see
The repentance of the past mistakes
How my entire being without you is
almost at stake
I wish you could see
The loneliness in my eyes
How often, how often, remembering you
they have cried
I wish you could see
The claustrophobia I get
Whenever the past haunts chocking me
almost to death
I wish you could see
How my insides crave for you
That the love I felt was nothing but
true
I wish you could see
Those crushed promises and the strangled ‘We’
You the new He, Me a lost She
