I sit and watch

I sit and watch

Tears covering my cheeks

With a fading smile

A mixture of pain

And an all distant memory

A childhood we shared

The love of a sibling lost

I can only sit and watch

I sit and wonder

Long into the nights

With unfading desire

To reach out and call

As the distant memories return

Of a childhood now lost

Tears washing my face

Yet I can only sit and watch

I sit and drift

A weak painful smile cracking

Memories from the past

Of a childhood now buried

And a longing for your return

For a chance to unite

Just once more

So I sit and watch
