With You – Written Wednesday 13th July 1999 (Aged 24)

With You

if only i could be –
with you
not apart from you
with you
there,
and not here
with you
just with you
not there,
but here
if only i could be
because being here –
is not meaning –
that much to me
i dream of escape
and a better fate
with you
if only i could
i wish it would be
just me,
with you
just you and me

James Garratt – Wednesday 13th July 1999
