You Are Missed

Echoes from your pillow...keeps me awake As I imagine hearing you breathing...my heart aches So I cling to your pillow...on the bed Then I reach out...but feel only air on the bed spread I call out in the darkness...with a frown But all that returns...is a hollow sound I jumped to my feet...and rushed to the stairway I felt your presence...in the hallway In the family room...your perfume lingered by your chair As I glanced at your impression...with a stair I shivered...from the coldness in our home As I looked at your photograph...by the phone I walked into the kitchen...where we ate I imagined you standing there...holding a plate I smelled the aroma...of a roast in the oven As my mouth watered...for your taste and some lovin' Then the shadows returned...from the night lite As I realized...I was alone here tonight I returned to our bed...and crawled in on your side I imagined your smiling face...staring into my eyes So I wraped my arms around your pillow...where I lay Then I seen headlights...coming up the driveway As I opened the door I grabbed you...we kissed Darling when your're at work.....you are missed
