Missin' You

I try to tell myself I’m fine,
But that doesn’t stop the pain.
It doesn’t stop the tears
Streaming down my face.
Because...
I...
Miss…
You!
You’re the reason I wake up in the morning,
Longing for your everlasting love and sweet touch.
Every time I think of you, my heart sighs,
Whenever you are near, I get butterflies.
The warmth of your love burns in me like a fire.
If I had a choice I’d hold onto you forever and ever.
I’ve given you my heart and I’ve given you the key,
I am nothing without you, I feel so lonely.
