Some part of you is absent sometimes

and the girl misses that absent part.

*

Some part of you is missing at times

and the girl is lost in the amiss.

*

Between meetings and emails

you squeeze me in

and I find myself looking for

some more room

to fit in.

*

I fear sometimes

you don’t hear me

I try to call out

but your phone is not ringing.

*

Those times I am a little lost

a little unheard

all the while not seen

and better unknown.

*

I fear if this be all there is

that which I would like to share

is not taken

and I get to keep

all the loving and missing.
