I Miss You So

To someone in love -----

Though you are not here
wherever I go or whatever I do
I see your face in my mindand
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 touchI miss our excitement together
I miss everything we share
I don't like missing you
It is a very coldand 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
