Missing

Missing you like the last blink of the candle,
like the last drop of water in an arid desert,
like the last puff of cigarette, coming out of my lungs,

Missing you like the lamb misses her mother when lost in the herd,
like the life misses death,

Missing you like the ocean misses waves which get lost at the shore,
Missing you like the tree misses all those leaves it shed,
Missing you like the flower misses its fragrance, when it is lost in the air,
Missing you like the air misses the moisture, when the heat soaks it up,
Missing you like those planets who miss life, like here on earth,
Missing you like the bird, misses its feathers, which are lost in the flight,
Missing you like this heart, misses its soul,
Missing you like the Jungle, misses its king,
like the mocking bird misses its mate,

Missing you like the earth misses its moon,
like a warrior misses his sword,
Missing you like you miss me.
