If You Were Here Poe

Father:
"What is it Annie?"

The Child:
"I miss you"

If you were here, I know that you would truly be amazed
At what's become of what you made
If you were here, you would know how I treasured every day
How every single word you spoke
Echoes in me like a memory of hope

When you were here, you could not feel the value that I placed
On every look that crossed your face
When you were here, I did not know just how I had embraced
All that you hid behind your face
Could not hide from me, 'cause it hid in me too

Father:
"How are you, Tiger?
This is great fun to be able to talk with you, like this
In fact, I'm going to do it more often."

Now that I'm here, I hear you
And wonder if maybe you can hear yourself
(Laugh)
Ringing in me now that you're somewhere else
