Missing You

Lying in bed

thinking of you

missing your touch

missing your perfume.

Sleeping tight

the tears that fall

from weeping nights.

I could feel

the feelings of loneliness

running right through my mind.

I opened the window

to see if you were out there,

but I only felt chill everywhere.

It’s too late for me

to turn back from yesterday,

but I wish you were here today

to wipe out my sadness and my pain.
