~Sometimes~

This is dedicated to a special friend

with lots of love ...

Sometimes
When you’re really still
I sit beside you
Brush your hair
With my fingers
Listening to the beats of
Your broken little heart
And I wish
I could have held it
A little closer to mine

Sometimes
as you sleep
I lay beside you
Singing lullabies
Rocking you gently
into the night
And I wish
I could have had
a little more time
to fill the emptiness
I left behind

Sometimes
When you weep
I am beside you
Your head on my chest
Arms wrapped
Holding tight
And I wish
I could have told you
I was so very sorry
that I didn't know
just how to love

Sometimes
When you ache
I stand beside you
Whispering softly in your ear
Kissing your cheek
And I wish
I could have had
a little more time
To repair the hole
I left behind

Sometimes
When you’re really still
I sit beside you
Brush your hair
With my fingers
Listening to the beats of
Your broken little heart
And I truly wish
I could have held it
A little closer to mine
