Why Do I Miss You?

These past few months

Have felt so bare

I remember looking--

All at once you weren't there!



In the beginning

I felt destined to be by your side

Towards the end

That specialness died.



You left without reason

Or explaining why

That only makes it seem

Like a great big lie.



Did that caring voice

Fade away

Or is it still there

Just somewhere astray?

Is it gone for good

Or will it come back

Should I stuff my 'ole feelings

In a brown paper sack?!



Believe it or not

I'm a person as well

And if it was a lie

I'll cease to dwell.



One thing won't change-

'Cause this feeling is strange;



There's longing inside me

Something I miss

For all I know

It's trapped in your kiss

Maybe it's your style

....your look

....or your laugh....



But what I desperately wish

Is to get back what I miss.
