I'm really bad at words; I'm really bad at what they say. I'm really bad at making them ring, making them obey. Still, I want you to know that the nights were long and alone with fear. And when you were gone, I wish'd you were here. You phoned from far away; I fought to find some words that'd care. I searched for phrases loving and warm, but they were never there. Still, I want you to know that the times you called made you feel so near And when you were gone, I wish'd you were here. And I wish'd my words would say what I really feel. In your presence, they were cold and unreal. Still, these feelings were frozen hard; trap'd in words of snow. In their silences, how were you to know? I'm really bad at words; I hid them all when you return'd. So then, I held you tight in my arms to show you what I'd learn'd. That my words all alone don't convey the love that I wanna make clear. That, when you were gone, I wish'd you were here. -MG (cc) by-nc-nd
