Wishing you were here again
Wishing you were here again,
So I could see your smile.
Wishing you were here again,
So we might walk another mile.
Sometimes I dream, of us together,
Running down the street.
A screaming and a laughing,
I see you chasing after me.
Wishing you were here again,
So I could see your smile
Wishing you were here again,
So we might walk another mile.
Often times I think of you,
During my sleepless nights.
Tossing and a turning,
Rekindling forgotten frights.
Wishing you were here again,
So I could see your smile.
Wishing you were here again,
So we might walk another mile.
But now that you have left us,
Going to another place.
Leaving all your love behind,
With us, you leave your grace.
Wishing you were here again,
So I could see your smile.
Wishing you were here again,
So we might walk another mile.

I lost a friend to a drug overdose in 2009 and this poem makes me think of his sister who is my best friend.
She misses him every single day
Great job, wonderful poem
Thank you, but I have to tell you, it was about two and a half years after Ian commited suicide before I could put anything onto paper. I hadn't thought about him for a while and there were kids outside and something just reminded me of how he and I used to play, and inspiration struck me. It took me about 15 minutes to write "My Friend Ian," and that was the first of my poems. Just wait, I know how hard it is to go through something like this, but one day you will be able to really come to terms with what happened and those feelings.

Thank you, I was going through a rough patch when I wrote this, I started this around the time of Ian's birthday and we were singing "Wishing You Were Some How Here Again" from Phantom of the Opera in choir and some how I blended them together. This piece is probably one of my favorites because of that.
I will definately look at your work too.
