I Finally Miss You

I missed you today.

I missed you when I needed a light,
and you didn't appear with one already lit.
I missed you when I wanted a kiss,
and your lips weren't inches from mine.
I missed you when I was cold,
and you weren't around to hold me.
I missed you when I was down,
and you weren't there to make me laugh.
I missed you when I wanted to go out,
and realized I couldn't call you.

I missed you when it hit me that you're really gone,
and I can't expect you to be there for me anymore.
I missed you when I started to cry,
and you weren't there to wipe my tears away.
I missed you when I couldn't walk,
and you didn't come to help me up.
I missed you when life hit me in the face
and I realized what I had way too late.


I finally missed you, today.
