While You're Away

On the days your away
And the nights we're apart
I feel empty inside
With an ache in my heart

Your voice on the phone
Has to suffice for a while
Though it isn't enough
Because I can't see your smile

With that smile in my thoughts
I close my eyes to see clear
The memories of fun times
Those times you were near

Holding hands, talking
Kissing at the pond
The times we've made love
Going to bliss and beyond

I even laugh to myself
When your joking I see
You tickling my sides
Protesting, "it wasn't me!"

But reality wakes me
Have I dreamed of you five minutes or ten?
Sadly, I'm still all alone
Missing you once again

But this ache and these memories
Tell me so much, I know
I can't wait to see you
Because I love you so
