When I say "I miss you" it isn't just words.
Not characters on a blinking screen
Not shallow motives sent through satellites
Blinking and breaking through invisible spaces
Navigated by cell phones and computers.
I miss you.
Every second of every day
Through daydreams and doldrums
My everyday suffers
Suffers from a lack
A lack of you
Being close enough
Close enough to touch
Your ordinary day.
When I say "I miss you" they aren't just words.
A shivering shudder runs through my soul
Consistently brushing my heart
Which chases shadows away
With the memory of your presence.
It's an overflowing emptiness
Having you so far away
B
