I Missed You Poem by Mathew Lewis

I missed you a lot tonight
For some silly reason.
You sat right across from me,
But our eyes never caught,
We never smiled.
I missed you a lot tonight,
Though our hands touched the same plate,
Though we laughed at the same jokes our friends made,
Our humour never joined hands.
I missed you a lot tonight,
As I watched you watching things,
The light from the lamps,
The bells on the fingers,
The way the smoke curled in the air.
I missed you so much tonight
That I wanted to leave,
I needed some silly excuse,
A faked emergency I could attend,
So my eyes wouldn’t water-up once again.
I missed you too much tonight,
Because now I’m lying in bed,
(In forty-eight hours I’ve had ten hours sleep)
But sleep isn’t a master to me.
Tomorrow I’ll miss you again,
Despite the smiles,
The endearing embraces,
The telling stares,
It’s all just a farce
With an unhappy end.
