Sending out a message tonight
Right up into the stars
Into the brightest of lights
As far as the planet Mars
I’m not sure that is far enough
But it is a place to start
I have yet to see heaven
Still I will know it by heart
So I am sending out a SOS
To the Heavens tonight
Just to make it known
I am missing you tonight
I missed you Yesterday
Like the days before
Since you left this world
With no warning at all
Hoping for that one day in time
When the pain won’t be so strong
That God will send me a sign
Where your absence won’t feel so wrong
Sometimes it is so hard
To find the right words
Knowing if you were by my side
These lines would not be blurred
If I had a few moments
Of you within my sight Maybe then you would not feel stolen
From the rest of my life
But who am I trying to kid
Moments are never enough
Try as I might to bid
For the return of your love
That would not be fair to you
To pull you back from peace
Even if I were able to
To fulfill a selfish need
Instead I will paint a picture
Like the ones you left behind
As I plan our next adventure
Instead of for answers I will never find
Each day that passes by
Is further from what we once knew
But one step closer in time
To when I will be reunited with you.
