“I miss you Harry.”

from Harry and Mary mini series

I hardly know you any more, you’ve changed so much, my dear,
Now after all these years, you’re leaving me in tears,
I miss you Harry.

You used to be my friend, I thought that that would never end,
Now you are aloof, and I haven’t any proof
that you’ll come back to me.

I don’t know where you’ve gone, and I don’t know where you’ve been,
I don’t know why you go, what is it that you need?
Why don’t you come to me?

Now you sit and stare, and it makes me scared to speak to you
For fear that this new you will snap right back at me.
You used to be so true.

Where have you come here from, and what is it that you want?
Why can’t you find your way back home, I’m feeling blue.
I miss you Harry.

What has captured you and why take you away from me?
What are you looking at, what is it I can’t see?
Oh please come back to me.

You don’t even speak to me, do you hate the touch of me?
When you look at me, what is it that you see?
Don’t you know I love you?

Please don’t turn your back on me, please don’t walk away from me.
I feel so desolate, I have so much to give,
My heart still beats for you.

I want you back my love. If only I could help you home,
If I could cure that storm that’s raging in your head–
I miss you very much.

“I miss you Harry.”
