I miss you

When you are gone

The shadow of your loves lives on

And lately as much as I fear to admit it

I really really miss you

In this world where it seems

My heart does not seem to register

On the radar of anyone much

It is your love that helps me go on

Even in the darkest times

And letting these feelings of vulnerability in

Means at times I open too

To past heartbreaks

But I know enough by now to understand

That that pain I suffered before

Was all part of the journey

That led me to here

For the taste of unconditional love

When it comes

Sweetens the tongue

And helps us to realise how bitter it was

To be the one

Whose true heart was rejected

And misunderstood before

The truth is

I was never meant for his world

For his heart was not like yours

There was none of the tenderness there

That you express to me every single time

And that my love is why

When you are gone

I really, really, miss you
