I refuse to miss you
Staring into the picture of you
Escaping to the memory of you
Laughing about what I said to you
Struggling to recall the sound of you
Laughing
Singing
Your heart beating
I refuse to
I need to
Not, what could have been
But, what has always been
My love for you
What I have learned from you
The way you draw out your cry of excitement, before you roll into your vigorous laugh
How you play with notes alluringly whenever you sing to me
With my ear up against your chest I always hear your heart beating my name
I refuse to miss you
Its just a picture of you

I refuse to miss you
Staring into the picture of you
Escaping to the memory of you
Laughing about what I said to you
Struggling to recall the sound of you
Laughing
Singing
Your heart beating
I refuse to
I need to
Not, what could have been
But, what has always been
My love for you
What I have learned from you
The way you draw out your cry of excitement, before you roll into your vigorous laugh
How you play with notes alluringly whenever you sing to me
With my ear up against your chest I always hear your heart beating my name
I refuse to miss you
Its just a picture of you
