Missing.....
I called the number today, THE phone number
Listened to your voice for what seemed like hours
But was really only minutes
My thoughts reached for you over the electric airwaves
As your image burned in my skull
The discussion was short, work and such,
But I wanted to say so much more
I wanted to tell you of the future
Of our sweet wedding day... and long passionate night
Of you and I on sunlite beaches, winding down the hours
Of our children running around the house
Of my old, wrinkled hand reaching for yours
What came out was nothing like my thoughts, though
Simple words escaped my lips to float through the miles to your ear
You laughed and knew exactly what I was telling you
You knew what I was explaining between words
You knew the unspoken promises inside my hollow breaths
And now I realize that this bittersweet smile of missing you
Will not fade, because it's powered by hope
Stronger than anything I've known
Listened to your voice for what seemed like hours

But I wanted to say so much more
I wanted to tell you of the future
Of our sweet wedding day... and long passionate night
Of you and I on sunlite beaches, winding down the hours
Of our children running around the house
Of my old, wrinkled hand reaching for yours
