I miss the times when you were with me

We laughed and played so often

There was no room for fear in my life

Mr. Loneliness was shut outside in the cold

I miss the sound of your sweet voice

It brought a smile to my face

Sadness bounced off that smile

Nothing could take my smile away

I miss the way you looked at me

Your eyes spoke volumes of love

I never saw bad things in your gaze

I resisted blinking to savor those moments

I miss your whispered stories

Tales of adventure and discovery

I clung onto every word

Other voices fell silent on my deaf ears

I miss your gentle touch

Holding my hand firm but lovingly

It was always warm and comforting 

The touch from others was always ice cold

I miss watching you sleeping

Listening to your breath

Waiting for your wakening smile

That guaranteed good morning kiss

Those times when we were apart

Were filled with anticipation

My emotions were frozen

I put my life on pause until your return

And one day you never came back

My frozen emotions melted by hot tears

Fear and sadness rushed into my empty life

I am too weak to evict them from my soul

My eyes are tired from searching for you

My ears weary from listening for you

My hand is numb waiting for your touch

I miss you
