"Missing Brightness"

I missed you today
more than words can convey
like my soul was missing
a patch of brightness.

I knew that I would have to
hear your voice if I was to sleep
tonight...if my soul was to
find any brightness out of this day.

I tried to substitute chatting,
but it just didn't work today
as it hasn't the past few times
when I've called just to talk.

Part of the missing patch of brightness
has lightened up by talking tonight.
It's still fairly dim, my love,
but it's brighter than it was before.

I miss you, my Megiana, keeper of
our promise and my protector.
As I miss you, my Neil, my brightness,
whenever we are apart.
