Analysis of What I Miss
To have and to hold,
To love and to cherish,
This is what I miss.
To joke and to laugh,
To kiss and to hug,
This is what I miss.
To feel the warmth,
The heat beside me,
This is what I miss.
To smile and flirt,
To want and need,
This is what I miss.
Your smile, your voice,
Your humor, your presence,
YOU are what I miss.
