You Are Missing From Me ©Dawn Minott |with audio

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

When I say I miss you

I mean

You are missing from me

***

I miss the sound of your voice

Voice uttering words that assure
Assure it’s gonna be okay, you’re loved, secured—connecting

I miss the look in your eyes

The intensity of your stare seeing
Seeing beyond what eyes see, to know—connecting

I miss the way you listen

The way you listen to hear without
Without words, to attend to what needs not be spoken—connecting

I miss the beat of your heart

The way your heart beat mimics
Mimics the beat of mine—connecting

I miss the whisper of your breath on my cheeks

The depth of your exhale release
Release your life force to my inhale—connecting

I miss the feel of your arms

The intentionality of togetherness encasing
Encasing the distance o’er the time-space continuum—connecting

***

When I say I miss you

I mean

I miss connecting with the part of me that you are
