I Miss You

I miss you, and I'm afraid to ask Where you've gone, where you've been, How you are, and most of all, if you still are- I fear the answer most, that doesn't come, The reply that never arrives: Bravery was never my forte. But I wanted to say I miss you And that I imagine you doing well- Because that's the only vision I can withstand. I wish I were the kind could shore up another, Be their rock and guide, through stormy days. Unfortunately, I am only that one who stays quietly faithful In the inner heart, till the very end. But I can't imagine there being an end to you Or of that vision that you are the only container of Ever met with, in my lifetime of knowing. So I will only say, I wish you well, forever Come what may, and hope that we will meet again- Some other, better day.
