I Wish You Knew...

I wish you knew...
  ...how much you really mean to me...
   ...that, without you, I don't know where I'd be...
    ...and my life with you is the only one I see.

I wish you knew...
  ...all those things that are hard to say...
   ...how hard it is on me when you're away...
    ...that, here beside me, is where I need you to stay.

I wish you knew...
  ...how I pray every night to see our next tomorrow...
   ...that I bite my tongue sometimes so my inner thoughts don't show...
    ...and how much more of me, I want you to know...

I wish you knew...
  ...how much of my heart you take with you...
   ...that, when you're gone, the biggest part of me is gone, too...
    ...and I won't last long without you here to help me through.
I wish you knew.
