Missing You ~ Rita McDermott

​I miss you...
phoning
just to say hello.

I miss you...
calling
to hear about  your day.

I miss you...
coming here to stay
giving me
your precious time.

I miss...
our travels together
taking in the sights
like kids set free
on a playground
finding pleasure
in exploring new things.

I miss...
your smile
sharing
hearty laughs.

I miss...
your affection
warm hugs
when you greet me
at the door.

I miss...
lying next to you
the warmth of
your physical presence
feeling secure
your arm wrapped around me.

I miss...
life with you
loving you
growing older with you.

Knowing...
You were my ONE.
I miss you.
