I miss you

I miss your stories
And our campfire talks
I miss your company
On those many long walks
I miss the sunshine
You brought to the day
I miss you so much
Why couldn't you have stayed?

I miss the light
That always danced in your eyes
I miss sharing your heartaches
And being your shoulder for when you cried
I miss the happiness
That played around your face
I miss you so much
I would gladly take your place.

I miss the warmth
Of your hand in mine
I miss your spirit
That was one of a kind
I miss all the days
We will never share
I miss the friendship
I miss you not being there.

I miss your strength
And how much you changed me
I miss noticing all the goodness
You always tried to make me see
I miss your tenderness
And all the love I got to know
I miss you every minute
Hour after hour, the hole in my heart continues to grow.
