I guess I missed you

I noticed you

lingering

the synapses in my head firing off

giving you presence

tracing those familiar paths you

and I once walked

the feeling of our hands meeting

every day

I guess I missed you

I imagine you

lingering

the only way I want

The only way I know how to

hold you

The mysteries left unsolved in you

I guess that's all they'll ever be

you're lingering

taunting me with your mouth

without making a sound

I guess you're lingering inside of me

the only way I know how to hold you

I guess I missed you haunting me

and now I'm haunting myself with the words

you'll never say to me...
