DON’T I EVER MISS

© RYAN GUILEY

You are not a fairy tale,

Or a post card from the mail,

But a real love that I adore,

Someone who makes my heart pour.

Don’t I ever miss,

Your face or just a kiss,

Not being a part no more,

Every day is like a chore.

Observers may think one thing,

Until I lash out they try to bring,

Too late, the damage is done,

My lifestyle is simply not fun.

I won’t allow anyone to walk over,

As I miss you hand on my shoulder,

We will not get over any circumstance,

As I will get that chance for a dance.

Looking in your eyes and your smile,

So, far, being away from the miles,

No one understands, we are just wasting,

As, no one will ever be this patient.

I can still smell the perfume,

Looking at you across the room,

We deserve so much and better,

Instead of me writing these letters.

Why I never went with you,

Is a question of I will ask, but who?

So many unanswered reasons,

As another night goes to the season.

I would be no one without you,

As you glare and stand so true,

As they do everything to avoid,

As I will no longer accept this void.
