How I Miss You
I miss you
When we used to walk down the streets hand in hand
We used to laugh at stupid jokes we shared quietly in the sunset
We kissed, stole a few in crowded rooms
Huh! The quiet moments on the couch
In late afternoons of nothing to do
I miss you
When you used not to tell me lies
Yes even when at those times the truth would have broken us apart
You dared not lie...
You used to race home from all over to catch the sunrise in my arms
I in yours
Oh how I miss you
When all that mattered was my heart beat and my smile
Now it would seem someone else or is it something I wonder
Has replaced me
My laughter no longer beckons you home rather repels you
I seem to nag more than I wish to
and that subtle sadness in your eyes
It tells me of a thousand words not uttered
It tells me silently that I am lost to you
You are no longer mine
And yet you deny it...so blatantly
I miss you...yes I do
But I shall not pray for you anymore
I shall cry no more for you
For my tears have not filled this longing in my heart
They have not comforted my tormented heart
So why weep, why pray you come back?
When I can bid you farewell and walk away
One step a day at a time
Hoping someday soon I will not say the words
I miss you
Oh how I miss you
