I Miss You

To the one who holds my heart, although I know it is not smart.
I have giving you my heart.
Why I ask, yet I know the answer.
You complete my soul, in ways not spoken.
I know not how to explain what I feel,
But when you are near my heart beats quick and body turns hot.
When you are away, I sit mope all day.

I can not say what it is I want to.
It leaves me open to be hurt.
I do not beleive that you would hurt me,
But my mind shows from the echos of the past.
To this day all you have brought me is joy,
A friend to speak with, a friend to hold.
I know that I need you, I know that I want you.
Why can not say what I feel.

Read here between the lines IT is there,
So please read on and save my mind, for IT is blind.
I speak of IT so very freely, and while I do know what IT is.
IT has hurt me in the past, and that impression does sometimes last.
I miss you dearly, I miss you much.
I wish to tell you how I feel, for these feelings seem so more then real.
I think of IT and I think of you.

I think now I must stop for I can’t continue,
Why is I can say I miss you, but not I IT you?
I’ll leave you with that last thought,
If you can answer that then who knows what may come.
Until the day we meet again,
Know that I will think of you now, and I will still be thinking of you then.
