Tell Me You Miss Me

I’m well accustomed to
                               Empty beds
               And broken hearts
Especially in
                               September

But your eyes wander to
               This future
I’m still desperately trying
To save myself from

But even still
               My heartstrings
Beg for you to
               Play me a
                               Melody

Deep down I know
               September is on its way
And I hope
               You understand
I don’t want
Callused feet to be
All that comes out of
               This summer

I know you
               You’re an ocean tide
Of a lover
And tides my dear
               Recede

Which explains
               Why your
Ocean colored affections
               Always come to me
In
               Waves

I hope while I’m away
your
               Seaside colored eyes
Find some time
Gazing at that
               Sky

And you think about
               How silly it is
That you’re the ocean
                               The boy who can barely swim
And I am the sky
                               The girl afraid of heights

But you know
               There are reasons
For both

But mostly I hope you remember
               When I’m away
                               To tell me
You miss me
