Why is it that I miss you?

It's not like we do anything together

Except share sex.
Or make love.
Or fuck.

Depending on your mood


Why is it that I miss you?

It's not like we talk together

Except online.
Or by phone.
When you aren't too busy

Why is it that I miss you?

And wait for you to "have time"?

Sitting up for hours past midnight
Waiting
For one message in an eternal-seeming hour?

Why?

Perhaps it's the way I feel when you are with me
Touching me
Seeing me

Perhaps it's the way I feel when you look only at me
As though there's nothing and no one else alive

Or no one who matters

Or perhaps it just
That I'm alone
And I'd miss anyone.



I don't know why I miss you

But I know I do.
