I Miss Your Touch

I miss your touch Your soft caress I love so much I miss your kiss I reach out through the mist I miss your eyes Staring into mine I miss your heartbeat Beating strong and free I miss your embrace And your arms around my waist I miss the nights The soft whispers of our flights I miss your laugh Oh the time we made a pact I miss your face And the lines I used to trace I miss your love As you gave me all I’d want I miss your fingers On my back they would linger I miss your skin And it’s feel as we lay in I miss your thoughts You shared of wanderlust I miss your grin And the stubble on your chin Every day I think about you All our days felt brand new I feel you all around me Even though my eyes don’t see I’m old now too as you had been The day you left, even still I grin “I’ll meet you on the other side” You said to me in your last sigh My eyes they tear Though you’re not near I feel you here Looking from that sphere Up in the great beyond You beckon me come I want to go But I know you know My work’s not done I tarry for our son He is not yet a man He needs me in this land But in my dreams You’re still with me And one day soon I’ll be with you Written 12/31/2020
