I missed you last night...
wanted you here...
beside me.

I missed you...
your voice...
your laugh...
your love.

I missed you
and all the things
that are you.

I missed the touch
of your hand in mine...

I missed holding you...
in my thoughts...in my arms
in my dreams.

I've lost the words to
describe the emptiness
of the place you filled,

I'm unable to shape the thoughts
of being away from you...

My mind goes blank
and refuses to accept
that you're no longer there.

I missed you...
and called your name

the only response... silence
and echoes in rooms once
filled with your spirit...

I'm not asking for the beginning...
I'm asking for the end
of this loneliness

I'm asking for time...
time for us to heal.
