Signed, Me

I cried tonight for the simple reason that I miss you more than I can say
It's been only weeks but it feels like years since you went away
And though I haven't seen your smile and I haven't heard your voice
I still see you everywhere, and for that I have no choice.

I remember the sun shining when you stepped onto that plane
I cried for nearly a week, and every time I thought of you I cried again
But I never let anyone see me, so there's no one else who knows
But I really miss you, more than ever; I just can't let it show.

There's no one else who understands this bound that we had
And the way it was so special, so they don't know why I hurt so bad
After everything we've shared, it's hard to be kept out of your life
But I guess that's just the way it goes, nothing ever turns out right.

And as I toss and turn in bed tonight and wonder where you are
I know it's been awhile since we've ever been so far apart
And I'll cry because I miss you, but then I'll dry all my tears
And I'll pretend that you're still with me; I really need you here.

Everything's been going wrong, and you aren't here to help me through
Normally when I find I'm in distress I'd run straight to you
But now that you're gone, I don't know where I'm supposed to turn
I never knew how to make it on my own, and now I have to learn.

Once again the tears fill my eyes as I write this letter out to you
I'm hoping that you'll get it, and hopefully you'll get it soon
But even if you do, I'm not sure that you'll write back to me
But that's okay; at least I'll know now that you'll see.

So as for my closing statement, it won't be signed "love" or "sincerely"
I guess I just can't do that, because you're not here with me
I'll just sadly sign my name, and I hope that you won't notice
All the tears stains on the page; just know that you are missed.
