i miss you- your voice, your touch, your light
i miss the way you brush your hair out of your face
and your laugh…

i miss you- simply, because you
are no longer here with me
yet your essence- it lingers in my memories

i miss you- and will try to turn off these feelings
for fear that i would drown into them
and sink down into misery

missing is a game that i cannot win
nor should i long to try
i will let it go like smoke or wind….
