IF I COULD BE BESIDE YOU – BY RYAN GUILEY DEC. 22, 2012
IF I COULD BE BESIDE YOU
So many days passes without you beside me,
It’s been getting cold with no leaves on the trees,
Your cup is empty with no ounce of stepped tea,
As I wish I could be beside you wherever you may be.
I miss the days when we walk and hold each other hand,
Driving to new places and taking pictures in foreign lands,
Seeing your sudden expression for the engagement band,
As I wish I could be beside you walking on the calming sands.
The first adventure when we went on roller coasters,
Camping days over the fire of not using the toaster,
I am always proud of you to be my wife if I boaster,
As I wish I could be beside you if this letter is one step closer.
When you put on make-up and got fancy when went to town,
We were dancing the night away in your elegant gown,
I always wanted the music to keep going with more sound,
As I wish I could be beside you, my love goes round and round.
Going on a trip and driving the distance to visit the biggest mall,
Getting mist in our eyes as we were are next to the largest waterfall,
Waiting for your shift to end, waiting by the phone for your call,
As I wish I could be beside you, looking at your collection of dolls.
Going to new places as we ate different kinds of meals,
Always keep the bill low as we always wanted the best deal,
Saving up coupons, so we could get a discount as it was a steal,
As I wish I could be beside you, as you know how much I feel.
In the video store as you told me to just pick a flick,
Lightening your room up using so many candlewicks,
Not allowing me to fix anything and just go ask Rick,
As I wish I could be beside you, even the days when I’m sick.
Getting our skates sharpen and hitting the ice rink,
Falling asleep on the highway as we were all in a brink,
Holding me in your arms as there was always a link,
As I wish I could be beside you, as you make my heart sink.
Putting on yellow lab suits making sure Ciara was alright,
Laser surgery for Nolan’s face as we knew it was right,
Getting me out of bingo halls as it was dark in the night,
As I wish I could be beside you, as you will never lose my sight.
I promise I will keep looking for you no matter what it takes,
So I can keep writing to you even if you are not real or fake,
Denise and Ryan are made for each other and are very great,
I’ll do anything if you could be beside me even if I have to wait.
