where are you when I need you?
when I'm so ready to talk
so eager to know all of you
who you are and who you want to be
where are you?
and it's not so much that I miss you,
but that I want you to be back
and maybe it hasn't been haunting me,
but I want to feel the slender of you arms again
and that breath you breathe after we kiss
I miss that most of all
and the peering of your eyes over your frames
and the scratching of your jawline against my face
and the way you put your hand in mine
just when I expect it least
that feeling in my chest when I see you
and the imprint you leave when you go
the fact that you wear no cologne
but the beauty of your smell still makes my head swim
and it's not so much that I miss you,
but that I need you here right now before I burn to cinders
and maybe it hasn't been haunting me,
but I am out of mind with the waiting for your return
where are you when I really need you most?
