I Miss Missing You



I miss you like a boredom. I miss you like a yawn.
I miss missing you till I know you're gone.

I miss you like a tyrant. I miss you like a khan.
I miss missing you till I know you're gone.

I miss you like a suckling. I miss you like a fawn.
I miss missing you till I know you're gone.

I miss you like a nightfall. I miss you like a dawn.
I miss missing you till I know you're gone.

I miss you like a graveyard. I miss you like a lawn.
I miss missing you till I know you're gone.

I miss you like a hazard. I miss you like a pawn.
I miss missing you till I know you're gone.

I miss you like a bouncer. I miss you like a brawn.
I miss missing you till I know you're gone.

I miss you like a famine. I miss you like a spawn.
I miss missing you till I know you're gone.
