I Wish I Could See Her Again
She lived next door
In a big, white house
Full of memories
She was the aunt
I never knew
Till fate changed my view
Josie was her name
And I'll remember it
Until death I die
For Josie taught me
How to really live
Life to the fullest
She was an angel,
God-sent, always
There for me
It didn't matter
What day or time, we
Could never separate
Until, that is,
Death stole her
From my grasp
I'll not forget
Not remember
I'll just simply be
She was gone
Just like that
And nothing was the same
The feeling cuts too deep
No matter how time passes
It never leaves
Or maybe I'm the one
Holding on because pain
Is part of the memory
She made me feel
So free and I never
Got the chance to thank her
I wish I could see
Josie again for just
One more day
I'd swim the ocean
From shore to shore
Just to hear her laugh
I'd walk a mile over stones
To have the chance to
Say 'Goodbye'
I'd give anything
To turn back the
Clocks of time
And then I'll see
Her as she was and
Tell her how I feel
I love you Josie
And no matter where I go
You'll always be in my heart
She taught me that
I didn't need eyes
To truly see
And she was right
After all, Josie
Was blind
But she saw more
Than anyone
Ever could
She saw through
Her heart and the
Darkness was no more
She showed me
The world in
Another light
One that didn't
Depend on the
Surface
And then she died
Leaving me
Behind
The sorrows I could
Not tell for they
Had no end
I wish I could see
Her for one last time
And tell her how I've cried
But I know she
Entered Heaven's gates
And waits for me there
Who would have known
That an accident
Could take so much life
She was ready to go,
To live in
Another life
And until we meet again,
Josie, I will see as
You once saw
I will remember you
Through thought and mind
Lest time tick no more
