Missing him

It's like an epidemic

He's gone for only so long

And my heart begins to break

I need him to be near me

I want him to lay beside me

To hold me close at night

This desire to wake up next to him

Taunts me in my dreams

Being without him kills me

A little more each day

Missing him

It's something I can't control

An involuntary betrayal of my heart
