I Miss You
I miss your
smile after wine
after dine
and the stars in your eyes after
you in my heart. I miss
your hand
holding mine
and the beat of your heart
after talks in the dark
and our laughter.
I miss the
look in your eyes
after holding my breath
after hearing your words
of stories unheard
of you and your dreams,
of me and my heart
after wine after
dark,
after you
and your voice
and your walk after dreams
after dreams
and your quotes
and your hopes.
Afternoons on the phone or the dark
after nights slept unslept
walking home with what's left
and I miss you in my heart
          like the tone of your voice
          and the ring of the phone
          and the hours of talk
          and our laughter...
