Everything I Feel (When You're Gone)

This is a confession

Of everything I feel

When you're gone

And I am alone

This is a dedication

To everything we feel

When we're together

We're not alone



I miss your scent

Of your clothes

And the perfumes that you use

I miss your voice

When your not here

I guess I simply took it for granted



And it's hard to keep my mind and heart so separate

When my heart is with you, my mind wants to drift there, too

And it's hard to be so strong when I don't know how to feel

When I tell you "I love you", I want to know that you do too



I miss your face

Your beautiful hair

And all of the cute little things you do

I miss your touch

It's so comforting

I guess that's another thing I took for granted



And it's hard, so hard to keep my mind and heart so separate

When my heart is with you, my mind wants to drift there, too

And it's hard to be so strong when I don't know how to feel

When I tell you "I love you", I want to know that you do too



And it's hard, so hard to think such positive thoughts

When I have so much to say that I could talk for hours on the phone

And it's hard for this distance to be so long and far away

Our string is pulled so tight, I sometimes get pulled down to my knees

And the second I fall, my strong heart bleeds...for you

For you...

For you to be here, as a friend, as my love

For you

For you...

For you to hold me tight, and squeeze with all your might



I miss your laugh

Your wonderful smile

And all the helpful things you do

I miss your strength

Your way to make things better

And every word and gesture to make me feel ok



Do you want to know a secret?

I will tell you anyway

When you call, my body shakes

When you send a message, my heart races

When you come home, I will cry happy tears

When you smile, I will know exactly why I love you



This is a confession

Of everything I feel

When you're gone

And I am alone

This is a dedication

To everything we feel

When we're together

We're not alone

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This was written after a minor break-down that happened as a result of me realizing just how much it sometimes hurts to miss someone a lot.  This is for Shannon, so that she may remember that I am a better man now...and this time has changed me for the better.
