Popular Poems About I Miss You

my dad was a crop dusting pilot
no pretenses there he was a good ole boy
he was a proud man and a shit kicker
cowboy boots and all

a real womanizer
he loved the ladies
he had a love of guns too
but his soft spot was reserved for his different little girl

I liked to read and had a high intellect
but I was odd
down deep I think my dad knew
I would never fit

he drew hard lines for me
and I never crossed them
until I did
what did my dad know he thought in simple terms
black and white

I sat in your chair today.  
Usually, I avoid it.  
It still seems wrong  
when anyone but you  
occupies a space  
only your big presence could fill.  
 
Breathed in deep  
from these inhereted lungs  
 
and let you soak in.

There is a photo,
You with Madison on your shoulders.  
The epitome of grandpa
 
It hangs joyously  
on the side of the extra fridge  
in the hallway utility room

Do you remember
when you broke into my world
prowled your way
on soft silent paws
into my heart?

I do

Do you remember that moment
(as I dreamed of you) when I said,
“I love you, ____! I love you!”

I do

Do you remember the time you first
revealed your heart to me
in full honesty?

I do

Do you remember our first touch?
When our eyes locked that very first time?
Do you remember waiting on a bench watching as I rode the escalator up to you?
Do you remember when you entered me? ...

Tonight
I felt your love
Aching, reaching out
with longing, gently caressing fingers
Tendrils of light and shadow
Drawing my heart towards you
I felt your desirous breath
Close to my neck
Brushing my cheek
Whispering in my ear
I heard our song
Remembered your lips
Brushing, teasing mine
In passionately soft restraint
That lit a fire
Still blazing

Tonight I felt it—
that painful hollow of primal need
which my affections from afar
Deepen
and I ached too
For you

I’m sorry for...
