Missing You

I’ve been here,
I’ve been there,
No matter where I go though,
I’ll never again be where I wish I could go.
Back to you,
A return to your side.
Instead I always hide.
When I left you I cried.
Long and hard,
My soul was marred,
Torn to bits.
This I wasn’t prepared for,
Even with my wits.
This was something new entirely.
Now I cry regularly.
I’m missing you.

The days I had you were my happiest days.
The days I wasn’t by your side were my saddest,
Or so I thought,
When people insulted you I fought.
Now I know it was all for naught,
Because now we’re permanently apart.
The taste of love isn’t bittersweet.
Nor was it tart.
The taste of love is a treat,
The sweetest sweet.
But now when I try to fight it,
I always end up beat.
I’m missing you.

Where was I when you needed a shoulder to cry?
I was always there next to you.
Where was I when you had to do something you were scared to try?
I was always right there next to you.
I was always there doing it with you.
I was always there comforting you.
I was always there loving you.
Now I’m on the outskirts of town,
And I’m not able to be there for you.
Where am I now when you need me most?
I’m over here where I shouldn’t be.
I’m missing you.
Are you missing me?
