I Miss You

Yesterday, I had a story to tell
come today, I had two more
I have all these things bursting out from me
but I can't tell you
You don't need me to

You got your own days and your own ways
Your own problems and solutions
You got your own stories you can tell
I cannot tell mine well

So, I go on trying, but I'm failing sometimes
I want to tell you little things that are on my mind
But I let them go...
Because I know
you don't need them
Even though
I want to show
that I'm missing

I am missing you, no matter, no matter
what I do
I am missing you with eyes wide open
I am missing you when I sleep and when I dream
I just want to talk
but I can't speak

Yesterday, there was something I meant to say
but come the time it seemed to have slipped my mind
I have all these moments I would like to share
but I don't tell you
you don't need me to

You go through your days different from my ways
Dealing with problems with new solutions
You got your own stories and you share them well
but mine, I rarely ever tell

So, I go on smile on my face and tell you the funny things
but only the big, important ones do I ever bother repeating
I let the others go...
Because I know
you don't want them
Even though
I need to show
that I'm missing

I am missing you, no matter, no matter
what I do
I am missing you with eyes wide open
I am missing you when I sleep and when I dream
I just want to talk
but I can't speak
No, I can't speak

So, I try to hide the fact that I miss you
I try to share the only things you want me to
But all these little silly things that come to mind
they get forgotten for all of time

Yesterday, I had a dream of you
I didn't share it
it wasn't important
Yesterday, I heard from you
You seem happy
I'm glad you're happy
Yesterday, I had a horrible day
But I didn't tell you
You didn't need me to
Yesterday, I couldn't write stories
this is not like me
but I am missing

I am missing you, no matter, no matter
what I do
I am missing you with eyes wide open
I am missing you when I sleep and when I dream
I just want to talk to you
but I can't speak to you
No, I can't speak to you
but I miss you
