Like Winter misses summer,
Like autumn misses spring,
I’ll miss you like the fresh sea air
Or blackbirds when they sing.

I’ll miss you like a clear blue sky
Or cozy rainy greys,
I’ll miss you and the time we had,
All seconds of my days.

The smell you had, so sweet to me,
I hate to think it gone.
I’ll miss that scent and odour kind
Now that past is done.

I’ll miss your voice, the way you smile,
And think of you as such.
I hope you find that happiness now
You don’t think on me as much.

Your eyes, your nose, your lips, your face,
I mapped out in my mind.
The memories I have of you
Are there if I close my eyes.

I’ll miss you like I’ll miss my joy
Each time I was with you.
I’ll miss you like the time I missed
The chance I had with you.

.
I'll never forget what you gave,
a look that could unwind time.
You froze that very moment
when I knew you would be mine.

A second where eternity passed
between us like a silver thread.
Your eyes betrayed naked emotion,
I knew no words need be said.

Without a seconds pause I take you,
lead you along a different path.
All because I had the audacity
to tease and to make you laugh.

I'll never forget that look given,
an invitation to come and play.
That frozen moment stretches out
into minutes and hours and days.

Gusts of your breath like a breeze
Fanned against my lips with each exhale
Your soft lips, grazing the chapped surface
Shivers danced down my spine
In a waltz so furious, my body in frenzy
Revelling to the beats of our hearts
Excitement almost dizzying
Feeling your gentle fingertips graze my cheeks
As you cupped my face, softly
Your eyelashes fluttered
Against my flushed cheeks
As a butterfly would against flowers
The creases of your Cupid’s bow
Finally pressed against my own
Our noses touching, sliding against each other
Lips now melding like seeping honey
Through a kiss so vivid
A kiss that only happened in my daydreams
