I Wish You Were Beside Me

I Wish You Were Beside Me (By Cat Matchuk)

I wish you were beside me.
I wish I could hold you the way I hold you in my heart, tangled in my limbs.
Face reality, is what they said to me, those voices,
they can be silenced by my words.

I wish you were beside me.
I wish I could hear the sound of your laughter pierce me, not an echo.
Face the outcome, is what they said to me, those people,
no one plans the future anymore.

I wish you were beside me.
I wished on these stars, the shine meant I could do anything,
I was looking into your eyes,
I wished.
