I miss you...

I miss you like a starving shipmate misses land..
I miss you like a new dad on tour misses his new born baby he has never seen before...
Like a child that cries as they wave their parents goodbye...
Like a field full of farmers that miss the clouds in the sky...

...I miss you...

I miss you like an angel would miss her wings
Similar to a bird that again wants to sing
or the elderly man that can no longer see
I miss you more than a slave longs to be free...

I miss you.*

Suddenly torn from the world that we know
I need advice and you cannot answer a phone.
I need a hug but remind myself you are no longer just down the road...
If you hear me, let me know you made it safe...
let me know you're home...
