The Way That I Miss You

I miss you in a way that's hard to really define.

    It's kinda like the word stop missing from a red octagon sign.

    It's something like how the grey sky misses the color blue.

    But that's still not quite the description of how it is that I miss you.

    I miss you like the starry sky misses the light of the moon.

    I miss you like how a winters day misses the sun that sets too soon.

    I miss you like a flower misses rain in a summer drought.

    but still I've not quite defined what missing you is all about.

    It's kinda like an open field with no wild flowers growing.

    Or something like a creek bed that has no water flowing. 

    It's walking on a sunny day but you can not find your shadow.

    Or maybe like a glow stick that no longer has its glow.

    I miss you in subtle ways, too many to name them all.

    I miss you like a tree misses leaves when they fall.

    I miss you when I wake up and you're not here with me.

    I miss you when the day is done and all I can only hold our memories.

    I miss you most when life is quiet and I'm feeling so alone.

    And also during busy days when it seems like time has flown.

    When something makes me happy and I look for someone to tell.

    Or when everything is going wrong and it feels like all I do is fail.

    I miss you in a way that doesn't ever take a break.

    I feel it in my heart, there's constantly an ache.

    I miss you in every moment of every single day.

    I miss you so much more than words could ever say.

    It's not something that I feel or something that i do.

    It's something that's a part of me, the way that I miss you.

    I miss you like I love you, till I'm out of air to breath.

    I'll miss you till it's my turn to leave others here to grieve. 

    I just miss you........
