I MISS YOU SO

It’s just a feeling I feel, as I’m tasting salty tears
I walked up behind you and touched you on the shoulder.
You turned around to me and I touched your cheek.
I can’t say this any other way, I miss you

The way you make me feel when I’m all alone.
I feel you in the room
even when you are not there and “we” time
together, goes away way too soon

but, Jim, you say, why say that?
I’m standing right here, big as life
why would you think that I am gone
well Joan I had this and you all along

this movie played many times before
all the things that we were, and how we now are
the first time we made love
no longer just friends, now we are lovers

I’ve always been a rowdy tomcat
but you tamed my wildcat ways
you are my sky glider flying high
you are my rock when I needed solid ground

I love you because you piss me off
You anger me and you challenged me
sometimes I think I can’t stand another day with you
and then I think, God — what would I do without you

you are the light in my eyes and so much more
you are the heart of my heart that I adore
if I pretend, what if fate made you a ghost
how could I simply cope if you were smoke and air

Oh my God, what would I ever do without you.
How I would miss your arms around me.
your, I love you’s light up my life. Even when you
ask I stop talking till you had coffee.

I wish we could look into both
our souls through our eyes
some days, the I love you’s flow
like we are making up for lost time

We enjoyed beaches and deserts and mountaintops and Ren fairs,
so many bridges we crossed, we thought it won’t stop
while holding each other’s hands and sighing sighs.
All the while, placing the other on top
We are so close I don’t know where I end and you begin
Thank God you shared your life with me
who knows what the mess I might have been
So, if I say I’m miss you, I mean it poetically
it speaks to what you mean to me
and how I would be , were it to ever end.
When I think about forever
you will always be there
I will never stop hearing your voice
and I will never forget how I care.
