I Miss You

I miss you
When you went away 
it was like a million needles 
poking my heart. 
I've told you a million times 
about how much I miss you. 
I know I was very young when you went away 
and I didn't understand 
that you were never coming back. 
I understand now 
and I wish I could have spent more time with you. 
I know it must have been hard for you 
to know you were going away, 
leaving two children behind. 
Sometimes at night I stare up at the stars 
and see your beautiful eyes staring back at me; 
and I start to cry, 
thinking about how beautiful you were. 
And I miss you.
