What I Miss
by Lillian Figueroa
I miss hearing you say, “I love you”
And making it so clear to me
I miss the way you used to hold me
And how you would always make me complete
I miss the love in your eyes
That look that told me you’d never leave
I miss the way you were before
And how you seemed so in love with me
I miss never having to doubt
That your love would never die
But now I’m always filled with doubt
And all I can do is sit and cry
Maybe it’s you, maybe it’s me
I’m not sure just what this means
Maybe I think too hard, and worry too much
Maybe I’m imagining you not loving me
I need to let it all out
All my worries and my fears
And when I let these emotions out
They will all turn into tears
Is that what you want to see?
Need I cry to get you to understand?
It feels like something’s going wrong here
I need to know where you stand
I need to hear you say, “I love you”
And mean it from your heart
I need to know it’s true
Or it’ll tear my world apart
I need to feel you hold me
To feel the warmth inside
I need to know you feel the same
So my feelings no longer have to hide
Please say it’s all in my head
That your love for me hasn’t changed
Please say you’re different because you’re busy
But your love for me will always be the same
Part of me knows you love me
The other part doubts
People tell me not to worry
That there’s nothing to fuss about
Yet even so, I can’t help but cry
Whenever I don’t hear from you
I can’t help it if I love getting your mail
Just to remember how your love is true
I just miss how much we used to talk
Either by phone or by mail
I just miss the simple little things
That I used to get without fail
A part of me knows you’re a man
And that you have to work in life
But please assure me that you’re doing this
So that one day I can be your wife
You probably don’t understand
How much it hurts me to write this
I hope it won’t offend you
I’m just letting you know all I miss
I miss you now
There’s never a time I don’t
I hope you’ll never leave me
Because I know I won’t
So this is a letter from my heart
Just to tell you this
Please say that you love me
Because most of all, that is what I miss
