In My Mind

In my mind you're near again
You whisper softly in my ear
I smile, the rain falls harder, then
I realize that you aren't here

Almost like you've never gone
I picture your sweet, dimpled face
For in my mind you will live on
It's something distance can't replace

I yearn so deep for you at night
To hold you close and hear your voice
By your side things come out right
But you are gone, I have no choice

Until you step back in my day
I'll cry each night for you, my sweet
For when you're very far away
It seems my world is not complete.
