Poems

Missing You

Long rides with music in only one ear

Talking for hours and hours on end

Laughing and smiling 

Leaning and falling asleep

You never cared about my looks

You never cared about my shortcomings

You were there, always and forever

But eventually you left

And I don't want you gone

I want to mouth the words to songs

As you sit by me and laugh 

I want to lean on your shoulder again

You're far away now, unable to talk

Unable to have those carefree evenings

Unable to speak, to sing, to dance

I miss you, friend, and secret love
