missing her
Please, Don't Go
Please don't go --
I hardly knew you.
I hardly knew whether you
liked your carrots and hummus with
blueberry tea, chai, or if you
preferred water. I hardly knew
if pancakes were your favorite
with fresh fruit, or if waffles
could have been substituted.
I hardly knew if classical music was
your jam, though Hozier definitely broke
through.
Please don't go,
I need you whole and
I love you so; your presence gives me
flutterbys that calm my crazy stomach.
I hardly knew whether Scarlett
matched your eyes.
I hardly knew if your taste in literature
was acquired, like that sweet tooth for ice cream,
or if your very genes turned on
the expression of a bookworm.
I hardly knew the soles of your glorious feet
and where they would want to be planted,
given the chance to take root. I
hardly knew if your sleepy eyes
looked for mine
before guiding your consciousness
into dreams.
Please don't go.
I want you forever, and
I know that's selfish, but
I've never expressed greed like this
before.
You are the sweetest notes
to ever grace my ears;
sweeter than the twinkling of
the brightest star,
sweeter than the tigers spoken by Mary Jane,
sweeter than any ice cream I could possibly name.
So please don't go --
you keep me whole.
I love you so.

Frame
I am looking at a marble frame
in front of me...
A clear picture of my ex-girlfriend
and I come to mind...
Graduation night, July 19, 1995;
one day before my birthday.
The best night of my life. My life
is full of surprises, graduating
was a big surprise!
I took many pictures that night,
but the one with my ex-girlfriend
and I is the only picture in mind...
I guess is because without her
help, I would have not been here.
Telling you this, I miss her!
Anyways, I am not a picture
person, do not like to take them,
be in them, or even have them,
but if I had a choice of having one
picture, it will be the one where
my ex-girlfriend and I looked like
the happiest couple in the world...
It remains only picture in my mind.
Do not take pictures the way you
see them...for granted!
What I'm Gonna Miss
You know darlin’ I have to go
But I’ll be back for you, you know
I had a call, and gave an answer
The wait is eating me like cancer
I hate to leave you, but I must go
So right now I’m gonna show
Just how much you mean to me
When I leave, It’s gonna be:
What I’m gonna miss
Is the love in your kiss
The sunshine in your hair
The feeling when you’re there
The moonlight in your eyes
The teasing little white lies
You know I hate to leave like this
But that’s what I’m gonna miss
It’s time to go, I’m leaving now
And I just don’t know how
I’m gonna live without you
Can’t stop thinking about you
But you know, when I return
This job, well, It can burn
I’ll hold you in my arms
Abandon all life’s charms
Cause what I’m gonna miss
Is the love in your kiss
The sunshine in your hair
The feeling when you’re there
The moonlight in your eyes
The teasing little white lies
You know I hate to leave like this
But that’s what I’m gonna miss
Baby here I am right now
And you just won’t believe how
Thinking about you has kept me alive
Sittin’ on the frontlines, about to dive
Enemies surrounding me on every line
And I’m just waiting, biding my time
Wishing I were home, just kissing you
But instead I’m fighting here missing you
What I really miss
Is the love in your kiss
The sunshine in your hair
The feeling when you’re there
The moonlight in your eyes
The teasing little white lies
You know I hate to be here like this
But that’s what I miss
My last day, can’t wait to find
The girl of my dreams, always on my mind
Fought a war, and saved her from it
Hardest part was to overcome it
Driving down the driveway
You come running my way
Finally hold you, kiss you now
Looking back I don’t know how
All the things that I missed
The love in your kiss
The sunshine in your hair
The feeling when you’re there
The moonlight in your eyes
The teasing little white lies
You know I love to see you like this
Now there’s nothing more that I'm gonna miss
