Missing You

When you’re near me, 
the sky is no longer blue.
You’re the pink lenses
I see the world through.

When you leave me,
you take away your spell.
The drabness returns, 
making me want to yell.

Looking out the window, 
your ghost is all I see.
Strangers are standing 
where you used to be.

There’s nothing I can do, 
but to endure my pain.
This poem is not an elegy, 
and we’ll meet again.
