Missing You

by Shanice A. Rodriguez

I'm missing your strong love,
How you lifted me off me feet,
I miss your sweet words,
How they used to make me weak,
I'm mostly missing your smile,
It's so unique,
It brightens the world every time you let it show,
The way you kissed me on my cheek,
Whenever I wasn't looking,
How we use to flirt,
But we were always kidding,
Every time you leave my side,
I feel so lonely,
I think of you wherever I go,
Then when we meet again,
It feels like years that I haven't seen your face,
Now that time-days-months-years all have past,
Your whole personality has changed,
I don't know why,
But you seem so different as if you never knew me,
You're a whole new person,
Everything we use to do,
we don't do anymore,
We barely even speak to each other anymore,
Oh how I wish you could change back to the old you,
Because this new you is killing me inside,
So please-please come back to me,
Because I'm missing you,
And I don't want to feel so empty,
And lose the one person who makes me happy,
Come back to me,
I'm missing you deeply
