Miss You Tonight!

On nights like these

I miss the blanket of your arms.

The warmth dripping off

The back of your neck,

Your whispered words

In my ears, like psalms.

I don't say it out loud very often but,

I miss you the most tonight.

I miss the way your hands move around my body

The way you hold me close to your heart.

Down and out for a while.

Burden of the world

laden on my fragile mind.

If I had you still,

I'd feel so safe on your chest

Lost in our own wonderland.

I wish I had the courage to say this always

I miss you the most tonight.

I miss feeling home when you held me tight

Your thoughts shining in your eyes.

Oh, If you could embrace me now...

If I could hear your heart beating,

Under that checkered shirt.

Your lips softly surfing,

Gently blowing my tiny curls.

I would break down a little, with you I belong.
