Missing You

It Does No Good to Cry

I remember…
…sometimes in bed we’d spoon with your back against my chest.  I’d put my arm around you and you’d hold my hand while we went to sleep.  What a contented feeling that was.
 
From “Terra Incognizant” by Prometheus
You would think by now,
I would know my way around,
I shouldn’t miss you so badly,
I should be on familiar ground.
How many more lonely years,
Must meander by,
Until I learn the lesson,
It does no good to cry.

Give Me A Kiss

I remember…
…always kissing you just before I left for work, when I got home, before we went to sleep and at many, many other times.  Grateful for what was I still wish for more.
 
From “To Anthea” by Robert Herrick
Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score;
Then to that twenty, add a hundred more;
A thousand to that hundred; so kiss on,
To make that thousand up a million;
Treble that million, and when that is done,
Let’s kiss afresh, as when we first begun.

Catching Me Off Guard

I remember…
…normally I was not ticklish but you had a unique way of catching me off guard and tickling me.  

Original Source and Author Unknown
I’m not supposed to love you.
I’m not supposed to care.
I’m not supposed to live my life
Wishing you were there.
I’m not supposed to wonder
Where you are or what you do.
I’m sorry, I can’t help myself
‘Cause I’m in love with you.

Days of Absence

I remember…
…sitting on the back porch at the big house watching the birds and trying to identify them in your bird book.
 
Swiss philosopher/composer Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778)
Days of absence
Sad and dreary,
Clothed in sorrow’s dark array.
Days of absence
I am weary;
She I love is far away.
