Missing Me

I hope you’re missing me
memories you still see
everywhere you look
that is where I’ll be

you can’t say the words
that leave you so disturbed
even though I’m gone
it’s what I  haven’t heard

the utterance of love
something you won’t speak of
although that’s how you feel
down deep it has been shoved

all has become clear
now that I’m no longer near
do you sit and wait
and watch for me to appear

How sad it is when love has "been shoved" down so deep. There must be reasons this has occurred, but if someone won't open up, you'll never know what they are. I'm glad I had the chance to read this tonight. Memories have been haunting me, even though I know the love is still there. Nicely said, JB. Best Wishes, Carolyn
