I miss your lips

I woke up this morning and imagined you there,

I imagined the kisses and tender sweet care

the words of reassurance

have faded away

and your lips disappeared that once made my day.

I imagine with arms wrapped round my pillow at night

of you lying there just holding me tight

stroking my head till I doze off to sleep

Holding me like a treasure to keep

Soft skin against soft

arm in arm or hand in hand

Singularly divided

together we stand

But I let you slip

just out of reach

and what I miss most

Is this feeling that of inner peace

That shadowed us together and held us in place

The calm on your lips, the smile on my face

So wherever you are now

Wherever you smile

Just remember I think of you once in a while

and wish just of good things to follow you still

Because being without you is haunting me

like a bitter sweet pill.

I will yearn for you daily

and sleep every night

wondering whos there to hold you tight

And one day this feeling I hope will soon ebb

and good replace longing whilst I lie there in bed
