I Miss You, Though I'm Not Quite Sure I Love You

July 11, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is love and separation.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A not-quite love poem about the first experience of missing someone:

I miss you, though I'm not quite sure I love you.

All I know is I like my music sad.

Long, empty days I'm pensive, thinking of you,

And while you're gone, I'm never really glad.

I think of love as some enormous sea,

Tempestuous or still, but never ending,

Something that once there will always be.

But that is not the message that I'm sending.

Missing you, for me, is something new:

An opening into my changing heart.

Love is something that I won't yet do,

But my feeling for you is a start.

Love, like prayer, should not be lightly said,

So I'll just say, "You're in my heart" instead!
