ELEGY Poetry: MISSING YOU, by Rita McDermott

I miss you…
phoning
just to say hello.
I miss you…
calling
to hear about your day.
I miss you…
coming here to stay
giving me
your precious time.
I miss…
our travels together
taking in the sights
like kids set free
on a playground
finding pleasure
in exploring new things.
I miss…
your smile
sharing
hearty laughs.
I miss…
your affection
warm hugs
when you greet me
at the door.
I miss…
lying next to you
the warmth of
your physical presence
feeling secure
your arm wrapped around me.
I miss…
life with you
loving you
growing older with you.
Knowing…
You were my ONE.
I miss you.
