I feel this

Like a hole in my heart;

I need you

To keep me from falling apart.

I close my eyes and see you smiling.

That smile that makes me weak;

The careless hair, the laughing eyes,

Those silent eyes that speak.

I miss you.

I long to hear your voice;

I don't go on or live without you,

You've already made your choice.

I need you to know

This without my saying;

The way I know the price of love

Before it comes to paying.

I can't tell you this

But I still feel it,

The only way I'll see you still

Is if I can conceal it.

But I love you.

I wish I didn't have to

Smother this inside,

But I won't let it hurt you so

Someday you'll know I tried.

And I still miss you.

And I still love you.

But what you don't know

Won't hurt me

Much more.
