I Miss You

The flowers miss your beautiful smell

The garden's no longer the same

They miss the stories you used to tell

As you called each one by name

The sparrows miss your morning song

They loved to hear you sing

They always loved to sing along

The way they did each spring

The stars still look for you each night

As each one fills the sky

The moon becomes the only light

The stars all wondering why

Even the wind still calls your name

I can hear it in the breeze

You touched us all with love the same

It echoes through the trees

I miss your smile, your gentle touch

Since the day you passed away

I didn't know it could hurt this much

I miss you more each day

My favourite line by far is 'The stars still look for you each night'. It really hits home and it's a type of romantic personification I love, in this instance it's extremely sad as it says to me that this person has truly left this world. It's delivers the message that the world is a less beautiful place now. Reminds me of the famous poem 'Stop the clocks..' in as much as it makes me feel the same kind of dread, the sort of dread that just makes you sigh.
