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
