Since You'Ve Been Gone

Morning seeps in
through my window.
I have spent 
all night long
deprived of dreams.
No sleep either.
Too lonely here
without your arms
that comfort me;
wrap me up.
Never appreciated you
till you left.
I miss you
with your quirks;
that quick smile.
The way you
sing to me.

Come home soon.
