I Miss You

I miss you so much it hurts

I wish you were here by my side

I need your guidance and support

I need to hear your advice, direction and your thoughts

I need your love and reassurance that only your embrace can bring

I need to see you laugh and smile and play nervously with your ring

I need to feel you stroking my hair like you used to when I was a little girl

You were my best friend, my rock, my world

And now, although you’re gone, taken from me

You’ll never be forgotten

You’ll live on everyday in all the things you’ve taught me.
