I Miss You

I struggle like a turtle
lying on its back
My heart is healing oh so slow
Wounded by the lack
Of joy and love, of trust and faith
We shared in times of bliss
But time continues anyhow
Although the past we miss

And all my force to hold us tight
Is just tearing us apart
Will this be our ending?
Or did we never start?

To bridge the gap sometimes so vast
between two fellow souls
To let two human hearts rejoice
And strive for common goals.

But memories are fading now
And such is what we have
I want to go back, yet don’t know how
My heart is going deaf

I pray that we will meet again
Like in the days gone by
I dry my tears and send my prayer
Into eternal sky

I hope that in the future
I can add a cheerful verse or two
But today right here and in this moment
I am just missing you
