There are days when I miss you; I haven't even found you. You have been there all along, but at the same time you've been gone. You're right here with me- until I wake up and realize I've been sleeping alone. The warm breeze caresses my face and I am soon reminded of those nights you stood gazing into my eyes, while your hand touched the surface of my cheek.
I could never hide from you because you always saw right through my frightened eyes. You would hold my hand so perfectly that within that moment I was protected from the world. Long hugs shielded me from my suffering and pain. Your kisses assured and promised me your love. Like sand, you slipped and faded through the cracks of my imperfections. I could never hide from you, though there were many times I tried. With the words that spoke from the tongue and lips of your mouth, I melted and everything I thought I ever knew disappeared. You are never close, but always near; far but never gone. I have stood in between my past and my future, but you have been my present.
Sometimes I think I made you up in my own mind. Other times, I know you've been out there waiting for me to come back to you. If only we could live in this dream forever and never wake up. That will be the day you find me and I find you. I miss you, but I haven't even met you.
