i miss you
when you're not home
when you hide your eyes from mine
when you take a breath without my exhale
i miss you
when the day has worn me to my knees
when i have fought the good fight
and i am not greeted by yr comely being
i miss you
when i cannot hold your head in my hands
when i cannot say the words you deserve to hear
when i cannot say i love you to your beautiful face.
i miss you
when i cannot make the best of our distance
when i have taken my best to bed with me
and i barely echo your perfect reply.
i miss you
when i cannot be buried under blankets
when i cannot hold you so close
when i cannot be reflected in your eyes in the moonlight.
