I miss you in the spaces.
When the world is still.
After the phone calls stop, errands end
And the day has had its fill.
I glide through the chaos
Through the noise
Every busy hour ’til
I miss you in the spaces
When the world is still.
I miss you in the faces.
Of a stranger who has your smile
Of one who wears your favorite shirt
Or jokes in your same style.
There’s a million faces in the crowd
But some just hypnotize
And I’ll miss you in the faces
Of those who have your smile.
I miss you in the places.
A corner where we kissed
A clever sign that’d make you laugh
Or a store you say you’ve missed.
I get the pang in rooms you’ve been
And some I’ve only wished
But I miss you in the places
Like the corners where we’ve kissed.
Each day we shrink the spaces.
Another checkmark on the wall.
One day the face found in the crowd
Will find me when I call.
The places that were meant for two
Won’t make me feel so small.
One day these lonely spaces
Won’t be hard to fill at all.
