Is Missing You So Wrong?

by Elizabeth Van Cleve (May 25, 1982)

Days, often weeks, go by and you don't call me

So I start worrying and end up calling you

It makes me wonder if you don't want me

I get afraid you might wish I didn't call you

You've never told me anything of this

I just don't understand, because I miss you a lot

I don't ever feel anything missing in your kiss

But, is it you don't need me a whole lot

I never doubt you love me

I feel it when you're here

Why is it you can live without me

And I just live in fear?

I've dreamt of you surprising me

Showing up when I'm feeling lonely

Saying you'll never leave me 

And that I'm your "one and only"

Do you wait for me to call you?

Because I wait for you to call me

Do you ever think I may not miss you?

I wish I knew you missed me

I missed you the moment you drove away

I thought I'd head back in and cry

I wished we were together just one more day

I even missed you before you said goodbye

Is it you're some confident giant?

With me, I don't know what to do

I wish I was more self-reliant

But even then, I still would love you

Tell me, is missing you so wrong?

It's too hard to forget about you

Is my life to be some sad song?

What am I to do?

There was a time you asked me to marry you

I told you yes, but then you questioned what would be in store

And something shut its door inside of you

If I knew your really wanted me now, I'd say yes once more

It's time Babe to admit our weaknesses

Together we can be so much stronger

I'd much rather see "out in the open" weaknesses

Hey, we might even stay together longer.
