Miss You

I know it's cliche to say this
And there's no way to say it without it
sounding like some cheesy pick-me-up line
But I've been missing you again lately

I know I shouldn't, I have no reason
Missing something that never happened
We're better off living separated
Never thinking of each other again

But you and I both know how weak I am
It was my weakness that brought us to an end
But I can't help missing you, missing every you
I miss your heart, the way you care
I miss your dreams and your hopeless hair

I miss your canned laughter, toothy grin
I miss the fur upon your chin
I miss you so much more than you'll ever see
I even miss the way you always ignored me

I miss your teasing and vain grace
I miss your open palm and bruises on her face
I miss drunken violence, the bitter atheist
Your suicidal fear of death, I miss your arrogance

I miss the days you wanted to know me
I miss our tragicomic romance
But mostly I'm just missing you
Because I missed my chance

I miss you like a bad dream
It's all that I have left
A mirage coated fantasy
I miss being your friend

You can't miss something that you never had
I never wanted it to be this way
I never wanted it to be this way
