I wish you were here

A wayward post

A song that reminded them of you

And now I’m reminded too.

I wish you were here.

Desperately searching for old voicemails

So I can hear your voice just one more time

But to no avail because I took you for granted for far too long.

And now I can never get your voice back.

I’ll never hear the scratch

Of a late night voicemail

Deleted in haste

Because I didn’t know.

I didn’t know how desperate I would be

To hear your voice again.

I wish you were here.

I’m so sorry that I took you for granted.

I’m sorry for deleted voicemails,

Neglected conversations.

Missed calls.

Missed chances.

I wish you were here.

I wish I could hear your voice just one more time….
