Do You Miss Me?©

One of my favorite songs by Brian McKnight is "Anytime". The song speaks of a lover wondering if his love ever thinks about him. We have such a strong desire to be loved. During the mourning of a lost love, I have oftened wondered if they feel the pain of the loss as intensely as I do. I so miss that person, and I want to know are they thinking about me, do they hurt the way I hurt? I spend time checking for messages that I know are not there; wishing, hoping, praying that he's called or emailed or sent a text. But he doesn't call. And I'm left to wonder, and play "Anytime". One afternoon after watching a bit of mindless televison, that thought popped in my head. I wanted to know if he missed me as much as I was missing him. And "Do You Miss Me?" was born....


I stare at my TV
blindly watching show after show
my mind racing, heart pounding
thinking of you
each time I find myself here
I wonder
Do You Miss Me?
In the quiet of your day
are you thinking of me
do you check your messages
search and hope the red light is flashing
on your phone when you get home
I wonder
Do You Miss Me?
Are you thinking about
my voice
my touch
do you long for me
reach for me
ache for me in the middle of the night
Do You Miss Me?
I want you
want to turn back the time
can't we simply go back
back when you were mine
when the world was dizzy
buzzing with our love's energy
Do You Miss Me?
Release me please
For I know it cannot be the same
you couldn't feel this way
and leave me here
because if you felt this way
You would be here
Do You Miss Me?
But you're not here
so I must let it go
let go of the missing you
I have to shake loose
shake loose the desire for you
The problem with that is
I
still
miss
you.....
