I miss you

So distant I can hardly see you
so quiet I can't hear what you are trying to say
I miss the way you would smile
every time I entered a room
I miss the way you kissed my head
or took my face in your hands
I miss you and wish you were here

Sometimes I see a glimpse of who you are
Sometimes a gesture or whisper of you appears
I miss the way you would reach for me
and pull me into your arms
I miss your enthusiasm and joy for life
for me when ever I was there
I miss you and wish you were here

I've forgotten what your smile feels like
I've forgotten how the beat of your heart sounds in my ear
I miss you and wish you were here
So far away from where we started
so far away from who you were
and I miss you... I miss you

My heart hurts and my lungs burn - my air is all gone
My eyes are never dry and my soul has disappeared
I miss the way you played with my hair
and how you eyes crinkled first here and then there
I miss you dancing away from my seeking hands
and drawing me near to you
I miss you and wish you were here

All I can see are the shadows of your heart
All I want is more than pieces of you
I miss the way you loved me
and the way you knelt to ask me to be yours
I miss the way I was something to you
and how you trusted me to feel the same
I miss you and wish you where here

and I miss you and wish you would come back to me
I am waiting for the sun to burn back the clouds
I am waiting for you to return from where you are
I miss you and miss all the little things about you
I miss you and I am here
