When You Were Gone

By: Y. Lin

When you were gone I missed you so much
I missed the warm embrace of your gentle touch

I didn't have a locker to wait by, had nobody I could walk to class
Didn't have anybody to hug, couldn't even sneak you a kiss

Even though you were only miles away
I thought about you every single day

I thought about how I miss being with you
Sharing experiences, thoughts, and every view

I'd give anything to be able to see you once again
Cause being without you is just too much pain

My heart is empty, like the desert with no sand
Without you I'm lost, like the plane with no place to land

I couldn't wait till the day I'd see your face
I'll hold you tight so I can feel your warm embrace

I will never let go, now that you're here
Forever and always I will hold you dear.
