a letter to him

When you are not near
I feel caged up
     like i should be doing something other than
     thinking about you
     like I should run to you
And time passes too slowly
When I fall asleep
(or rather)
lie in bed
I wish you were next to me.
I woke up in the middle of the night
  and I was still thinking about you.

{s m i l i n g   m e}

This feeling is new to me
I'm not used to feeling this way
  about you
It never used to be
     I can't get enough . . .

  "I guess the thing about today is that I
   spent it alone, not with you.  Are
   you the person I'm thinking of right
   now?  Maybe you are.  Where are you?
   Where did you go?  The day is fading
   and I'm wondering about my next life,
   tomorrow.  I wish it was with you."  

. . . and now it is because we can never be together
      and so I miss you too.
