If I wasn't around,
would I be missing

would there be an empty place

inside of you
that would make you sad

or cause a tear to roll down the face

of your heart?

If I wasn't around,
would I be missing

would you count it as a loss

that you could not replace
in a dreamless sleep

would you turn and toss

in your dark?

If I wasn't around,
would I be missing

would you wonder where I was

every now and then
I wonder if it would hurt
you

as much as it does

me

when you are missing.
