I Don't Miss You
Embracing Memories: A Journey Beyond Longing
Lyrics
I don't miss
Not feeling the absence of
Competing with a screen
Not missing the competition for attention against a screen
For the look in your eyes
Not longing for the expression in your eyes
I don't miss
Not missing
The grey skies
Not missing gloomy or dull skies
I don't miss
Not missing
Begging for more out of you
Not missing the act of pleading for more from you
When you won't even try
Not missing the effort put in when you refuse to reciprocate
For once in your life
Desire for a change in your behavior
But I miss
Missing
The touch of your hand
Yearning for the physical contact of your hand
And having a safe place to land
Missing the feeling of security and comfort with you
And the look on your face
Missing the expressions you used to have
A listening ear
Longing for someone to listen empathetically
I miss the welcoming cheer
Missing the warm reception after a period of separation
After weeks worth of space
Longing for the return of joy after a period of distance
I miss all the laughter
Missing the shared moments of joy and happiness
And all that came after
Yearning for the experiences that followed those joyful moments
And feeling what I never knew
Missing emotions that were previously unfamiliar
I miss everything that we did
Missing all activities done together
But I don't miss you
Not missing your presence or essence
I don't miss
Not missing
Staying up late
Not missing staying up late
Waiting for you to call
Not missing the anticipation of your call
I don't miss
Not missing
It at all
Not missing it at all
I don't miss
Not missing
Giving you chances to prove to me
Not missing giving you opportunities to prove honesty
That you didn't lie
Not missing the need to verify your fidelity
When you said you were mine
Longing for honesty in your claim of belonging
But I miss
Missing
The touch of your hand
Yearning for physical contact again
And having a safe place to land
Longing for a secure and comforting place with you
And the look on your face
Missing the expressions you used to make
A listening ear
Longing for someone who listens attentively
I miss the welcoming cheer
Missing the warm reception after a period of distance
After weeks worth of space
Longing for shared moments of joy
I miss all the laughter
Yearning for experiences that follow moments of joy
And all that came after
Desire for feelings previously unknown
And feeling what I never knew
Missing all shared experiences
I miss everything that we did
Missing all activities and experiences guided by you
I miss all the things that you pointed me to
Missing everything that you directed or guided me toward
I miss everything that we did
Missing all activities and experiences shared with you
But I don't miss you
Not missing your presence or essence
