Been too lost to speak;
Been too lost to quiet;
Been too long I could think of what to say besides.
…
Feels like forever;
When you were by my side,
Been too long ever since I felt the pain subside.
…
Wait for me, won’t you?
I will be along
Wait for me, won’t you?
You won’t be alone…
…
Been too far away
On the other side of the sun.
Too long since I touched the fresh earth
and didn’t feel the burn.
…
Lost in space forever,
I didn’t see until you were gone;
Now there’s nothing but to wonder
When I’ll be along…
…
Wait for me
there, my love;
I’ll be along…
Wait for me
won’t you?
I will be along…

Author’s note: Not sure where this one came up from. I am not a song writer, but I was singing it as I wrote it. I could hear my brother’s guitar in my mind, strumming a quick beat as I sang it. And for some reason, it feels like a piece of my heart.

It would certainly suit a song, but worked very well as it is.
Best wishes, Pete.

Thank you, John! 🙂 It feels so close to heart, yet for some reason it gives me hope that someday all those we have lost will be reunited.
