There are days when you miss someone
and you don’t understand why
they’ve managed to touch you so
and they didn’t even have to try

they simply listened to you
and did their best to be “there”
and when you needed a virtual hand
they reached out to show they cared

but it’s days like this that hits me the hardest
when i find myself missing you
your words of comfort telling me, take care
it doesn’t even matter if they’re true

just knowing you’ll be back again
will keep the demons at bay
as i try not to count the hours
and go on living for the coming day.
