I Miss You!

by Simon Hayes   Aug 14, 2005


It's not that I can't go on,
Or that I'm not strong.
It's not that I feel blue,
I just miss you!

It's not that silence brings me to tears,
Or the "after all these years".
It's not putting up with getting through,
I just miss you!

It's not that I'm all alone,
Or lonely in OUR home.
It's not trying to believe it's true,
I just miss you!

It's not me I'm trying to be right now,
It's not anyone else I see right now AND
It's not US that I need right now,
I need YOU here somehow!

    Such a strong write ! 5/5 for a wonderful theme and a great way of finding the right words. This made me think about what is behind and moved me a lot ... it's my favourite poem by you, because it describes a feeling well know for me , I can't even find the words to express how much I love this poem, because it's simply brilliantly written .

    Keep up writing poetry from the heart
    Lots of love
