without you

i miss you
i understand
but it doesn't dull
the deep ache
that occurs when
part of who you are
is absent
and the bits of joy
that i am finding
are dulled by
not knowing
your joy
or your sadness
or seeing your
face and hearing
your voice
it feels like 
i am only
partially living
without you
