I Miss You

My hands are on yours

Feeling the warmth

Holding onto you

As if I had nothing to lose

My head on your chest

Listening to your heart beating

And at that moment

My eyes open

The blank white ceiling

Staring back at me

Making me wonder if

Somehow all of this

Was a dream

I long to tell this to you

My mouth wants to speak those words

But as if it has a mind of its own

It holds back the words and never said them

But now, I’ll finally say them

“I miss you,” I wanted to say

But you fade away like the night sky

Drifting far from where I am

My heart aches for you every day

It longs for your warm touch again

If only I had said those words before

Maybe then, and maybe now

You’d still be here

With me.
