Its Been A While (poem)

So far away from where you are
All the miles that keep us apart
Every time that I close my eyes
You're always there right by my side
You're the only face I can't forget
And I don't know if I really want to
There is just something about you

Its been a while since we talked
I'm crossing my fingers hoping it won't be long,
'til you start missing me and you can't find a friend,
just remember you've got someone here who loves you dearly,

So far away from where you are
This holding on just gets hard
Patience I don't do very well
But I'm on my knees praying like hell
That I'll wake up , open my eyes
And you'll be there sitting at my side
And I can't explain it to you
There's just something about you

Its been a while since we talked
I'm crossing my fingers hoping it won't be long,
'til the days get too long and you need someone to lean on,
 just remember that you're not alone,
you've got someone here who loves you dearly
