MISSING

 

I think of you on this cold winters day

when you are away from me.

The sky hangs above me

but it holds no warmth.

I need you to put the heat in my heart.

I can’t stand being away from you,

not even for a day. I just want to hold you

and to be told it’s okay.

missing   alone   not together
