Miss you

I miss the way things used to be.
You were always the one who knew
the mish mash buried inside of me
just by the look on my face.
There was always comfort, even safety
In the knowledge that I was surrounded
with love and true understanding.

Now, you are so far from me
that distance sometimes casts a shadow
Over the look and feel of understanding

If only I could crawl back
into the lap of friendship
And have each day drenched in smiles,
laughter, and a common knowledge
shared only by a glance at a face.
I guess what I am really saying is
I miss you... but then you know...Don't you?

This is not one of my best. I honestly think it sucks because I think it has no life. I posted anyway because I really need the points. It was February when I got hurt at work. I haven't had any income at all since September. I hate posting stuff I think isn't any good, but my state of mind is not condusive to writing right now.

This is beautiful. The terms you used are perfect choices for the overall tone.

The yearning comes through. "...distance casts a shadow...." very good.

I feel the pain through your words. You ar not in a frame of mind to cast judgement on your own writings. Wait you might see as bad just might be the most delightful to another. I thought it damn good and have missed you too.
