Here I sit your picture in my hand
As I stare at it I feel both happy and sad
I am happy for the times we’ve had
And that I could be so lucky to call you mine
Sad that I cannot see you more than I do
That I can hear your voice, but not see your face
Your picture now is my most cherished possession
Each day the pain gets harder to take
I wish to see you and hold your hand
When you’re in love, to see a picture and talk on the phone
Is not enough to hold off the pain of loneliness
Why must I be so far away from the one I love?
I should be near you, looking into your beautiful eyes
Not staring at a picture, dreaming of seeing you
This picture and the phone now are my portals
My portals which allow me to dream of better times
Times when we won’t be apart for so long
A time when I won’t drive away from you
Never knowing when I will see you again
Oh what a wonderful time that will be!
