wish you were here

Standing on the top of the mountain, I look down at the view below and I see a sight to be help in my memories forever. I can see the sun’s rays breaching the darkness of the world and the first reddish streaks of light emerging from among the clouds. The birds are starting to chirp and yet, even in this beautiful place, I am missing something. I try to think what would have made this scene complete and I know the answer immediately. I guess you know as well that your presence would have made this moment one of the most memorable moments of my life, but reality is that I miss you. I can see the rays of the sun reflected off the lake below, a truly divine sight. I only wish you were here so that I could stand beside you and we could share this image of beauty together, so that I could hold you in my arms and so that we could be lost in each other while the sun rises to cast its light on us. The chirping birds would know we were here, but they don’t care, neither would the people down below by the lake but we would know, that we were here and that this moment of joy could never be taken away from us. I see the sun rising from behind the mountains in all its grandeur and I don’t know why I miss you so much. I came here to be alone and yet in this solitude, all I long for is your touch and to have you by my side soaking in these glorious moments that only God can provide us with. I can hear Pink Floyd ringing in my ears:

“We are just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year,

Running over the same old grounds and how we found, the same old fears,

Wish you were here”
