i miss you

Though you are not here

wherever I go or whatever I do

I see your face in my mind

and I miss you so

I miss telling you everything

I miss showing you things

I miss our eyes

secretly giving each other confidence

I miss your touch

I miss our excitement together

I miss everything we share

I don't like missing you

It is a very cold

and lonely feeling

I wish that I could be

with you right now

where the warmth of our love

would melt the winter snows

But since I can't be

with you right now

I will have to be content

just dreaming about

when we'll be together again
