Do You Miss It

How can you not miss it, As much as I? I remember not long ago I saw love in your eye Then out of nowhere A storm came along And no longer were the birds Singing our song The green meadows soon faded The leaves withered to grey And our days in all of their beauty Now are fading away How can you not miss it, As much as I? I remember not long ago I saw love in your eye Time has slowed still The sand has stopped its flow And even though a week has gone by It feels as if it were so long ago We would lay there and talk As if this were something concrete And when I was getting comfortable You pulled it all out under my feet How can you not miss it, As much as I? I remember not long ago I saw love in your eye Today, I feel invisible If I were to die If I were to disappear forever Would you even cry? You make me feel As if we did not ever exist When just last week I felt the warmth of your kiss How can you not miss it, As much as I? I remember not long ago I saw love in your eye But here I am ignored Alone in a crowded room Praying prayers to myself Hoping despair does not loom I pray for the courage To go just one more day Even though what I really want Is just a friendly hey How can you not miss it, As much as I? I remember not long ago I saw love in your eye I pray that tomorrow I wake And pain is no more I pray that tomorrow I will see you at my door We can hold each other tight Just as we always had And at the end the day I do not feel this bad How can you not miss it, As much as I? I remember not long ago I saw love in your eye To be or not to be Is that the question at hand? I once saw our footprints Side by side in the sand I can not live with the image Of you not in my life Without you I am alone I am left with toil and strife How can you not miss it, As much as I? I remember not long ago I saw love in your eye So here I write a letter Telling of my goodbye But please answer my question Before I lay to die How can you not miss it, As much as I? I remember not long ago I saw love in your eye
