And I really wish to hear from you tonight!
by Lori BlairOh I know time has past us by
and it's been a while
but I still smile
when I think of you and I just wish you would know
and I am wishing beyond reasonable hope
that you go online to say hello or goodbye
cuz I can't stop thinking of you
and I really miss you tonight
as all those late nights when you left
It's been so long but just as hard
to realize that you're gone
when all I knew was the truth
of you and I
and I will miss you until the day I die
and even then, further, from the inside then out
We go back to the beginning
before time began its hardships
not much said amiss
but I know you wish what I wish and I doubt you'd
lead me astray within these cold winds that prey the night
barren without you or your words of encouragement
and I still believe in your mind
and I really wish you were here
and you never really said your goodbyes
and I keep waiting to hear news
and it's so hard for me, my email
is so empty of you
but I know you are still within me through hard times
cuz I feel you still are there and I'm not so scared alone
though this home is not the same without you tonight
but I wish you were here to invite me
cuz I can't incite anything more
without you here to hold me through the night
It's been so long but just as hard
to realize that you're gone
when all I knew was the truth
of you and I
and I will miss you until the day I die
and even then, further from the inside then out
and I just really wish to hear from you tonight
and I just really need to hear from you tonight
cuz I just know true love is a love
that is not blind
just say you love me too without wasting time
say you love me but not goodbye!

Excellent. |

| Posted by Joe Cramer on 01/06/12 at 01:09 PM ... so very wonderful.... reads like song lyrics.... I could not rate it high enough! |
| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 01/06/12 at 01:13 PM Lori. it goes without saying, you have a unique way to say things that would not have been said lest you took the lead. your words culminate to sanctuaries within the heart and soul which are not easy places to locate, but locating such places seems second nature to you. and having located such you do not come to rest to loaf within their haven but are up and about being gracious hostess offering to your own heart and soul offerings they cannot offer themselves. and could it be otherwise that your heart and soul will ever be grateful to you and your splendid feeling searching pen? as will we for such panoramas of feeling that you offer with each posting. |
| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 01/07/12 at 11:33 AM such an honest plea for communication of the heart and soul, Lori. I had to read it twice to appreciate why it captivated me so! |

| Posted by Jody Pratt on 01/11/12 at 02:32 AM I can really feel your pain here, partially because of the way you say it, but mostly because I can relate. |
| Posted by JJ Johnson on 01/11/12 at 04:29 AM It is hard sometimes to comment on poetry so personal. There is no rating that can measure love, no words of poetic comparison that can describe how deeply hearts feel for one another or how much they can miss each other from miles and miles between them. I wonder if empty emails await messages of love, each wondering why the other has not written when both should be. You display your feelings so vividly that even a mole tunneling for love can see in the dark. jj |
| Posted by Tony Whitaker on 01/11/12 at 09:25 AM This one brings back a memory of a lost love. Your relentless lyrics are begging to be sung, which I just did while playing my Martin. You are a real treasure on this site. Baby, please don't go and never say goodbye! |
