What I Gained

Now I know about you. And you showed me what I’ve been missing. A touch of the hand, the scent of your skin. All the dreary days have cleared. And you showed me what I’ve been missing.

A kiss on the cheek, as you pull me closer. A secret prayer that we could stay this way. You showed me what I’ve been missing. A hug, as you whisper in my ear. “I love you.” And you showed me what I’ve been missing.

How do you know what’s on my mind? A smile, stay here. You showed me what I’ve been missing. No more tears, no need. No more self-doubt, all smiles. And you showed me what I’ve been missing.

Is this how it is? Is this how it’s been? No more false words. You showed me what I’ve been missing. A smile is new to me, a laugh, rare. Just here I am in your arms. And you showed me what I’ve been missing.

Don’t let me go, ever. Just hold me forever. You showed me what I’ve been missing. Talk to me sweetly. Grin and tell me “And I’ve showed you what you’ve been missing.”
