Just A Name

It's been too many years,
Too many tears,
But all I can remember is your name,
Missing you is causing this pain,
Gone from my memory is your beautiful face,
My heart is so filled with disgrace,
Your name is all that's left,
Your face that time has stolen left me bereft,
Hard as I could, I just can't see your face anymore,
Whispering your name won't take me back to our times before,
But every beat of my heart whispers your name,
Somehow longing for you has kept me sane,
There have been times in which I ask God,
Why he separated us because love was something no one could stop,
Why did he separate us with this terrible silent distance?
In a wink of an eye, you vanished in an instance,
Baby, I love, love, love you,
And God knows it's true,
I'm just living through this day by day,
Stand by the sun till the sky turns gray,
Now your face is just a name,
Now, missin' you is just causin' pain,
Your name is not enough,
I need you to love,
I need your body to be against mine,
I want to turn back the hands of time,
I want to be near you once again,
I want to stand close to you and touch your hand,
I want our eyes to set upon each other,
I wish you would realize that we were meant for each other,
But all I have is your name,
It's enough to keep causing me endless pain,
Why can't I see your face again?
Why couldn't you at least be my friend?
My dreams have you in them but your face is blurred,
My restless soul screams but I'm no where to be heard,
How can it be that all I remember of you is your name?
I still have so much to tell you, so much more love to give than I proclaim,
So many wishes yet to come true,
So many journeys I would have traveled together with you,
Everywhere I go,
It's only your name that I know,
It hurts more than anything not to be able to tell you apart,
There are millions of people but yet you're the only one who had my heart,
That is why I feel this empty whole where my heart used to be,
I won't be complete,
You still have my heart,
Maybe that's why for me your presence can't depart,
My soul can only wonder on as it weeps and cry,
We left each other with no goodbyes,
I still pray we'll meet one day and then I'll see your face,
Holding onto your name left me with no trace,
Please don't let me holding onto just a name,
Don't let it be the cause of my anguish pain.
