Wishing You Were Here With Me (1993) Poem by Lil Sutton

I sit alone in my room and I think of you.
I'm thinking about the love I hope to find.
It's your face that is always on my mind.
You look so inocent and sweet.
My heart yearns for you.

Like a wave in the sea
Like an autumn leaf on a tree
I'm wishing you were here with me.

I want you to know your smile comforts me.
I want you to hold me and for your arms to protect me.
My heart is like a treasure chest, hidden beneath soil.
But it holds beholds something that is warm and true.
The treasure it holds is my love for you.

Like a lock without a key
Like a man who cannot see.
I'm wishing you were here with me.

My heart beats in rythm with the seconds of time.
If I could have you, to the sishint wellI'd give more than a dime.
An ocean is deep and a river is wide.
My love for you stretches up to the heavenly skies.

Like a flower attracts a bee
Like gold has i high fee.
I'd do anything to have you standing beside me.
nd now I'm wishing you were here with me.
