I Miss You

I miss you

I never laid my eyes on you

I don't know if I ever really knew you

But the you that you let me know

I miss that you

I needed you

Maybe I still do

But I was afraid

So, so afraid

Tonight, though, as memory replaces present

I hear the timber of your voice

And my heart aches

As only mourning, forgotten hearts can

I miss you

Though you will never know it

I miss you

And it hurts

Very sad but lovely to read

[Coyote Poetry]

I do understand the poem my friend.
"The moon is within me, and so is the sun
I love thee with the love I seem to lose with my lost saints"
I liked the strong and honest emotions shared. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Secret love. Ah, I know it well. In its simplicity your sis a very effective poem.

I can say I understand this one...up close and personal. Across more than one taste of existence and reality, this has left tracks and noseprints behind.

My heart and soul to yours.

sounds like an online relationship,but still very real

[R.E. Ray]

This speaks to that secret love, whether real or imagined, that we use to measure all others. I’ve often wondered if the distance, the not knowing, makes him or her more appealing. Still, this speaks to what the heart desires, and it’s delivered so sincerely in this poem.

And sometimes it's a friendship that feels something closer to kinship. Without it, you realize you're simply not quite as whole without that person as you were with them.

[R.E. Ray]

Yes, that too. :)
