Missing You

I miss your hair, its swinging gloss
Surrounding your ever expressive face.
I miss your eyes, how they glow with your laughter and strength,
Shining with your hair, colours matched, smiling.

I've missed the way you cared for me, needing to make me happy,
Always caring, even I think, when anger made you forget.

I miss looking after you, being there for you,
Listening to your worries and fears,
Your pain and heartache.

I felt so much pain for you when you were confused,
Your anger hurt you, your loyalties so painful.

You had to make a choice, I didn't beg,
Only in my heart and soul; you never knew.
