every morning since…

there’s a slight bump
i reach out to you
and the bed is empty
warm where you were
with a vague scent of
your perfume

i slumber on your side
i don’t want you to
return to cold sheets
i don’t sleep very
well when you’re
not in bed with me

sunrise is seconds
away and you have
not returned to join
me, where have you
gone?

this happens every
morning since…

i am missing you

i am missing you
and your coffee-caramel-sea salt kisses
waking me on Sunday mornings

i am missing you
and tonight is especially
bad for no good reason

i am missing you
because things are happening
and i just want to be with you

i am missing you
I want to share everything
with you, I want you
