I Miss You
Savoring Life's Colors: A Yearning for Presence
Lyrics
Put down your paper plate
Symbolic gesture to leave behind mundane things and focus on something more meaningful.
Come to the table made
Invitation to join in something significant, possibly a metaphor for a spiritual gathering or communion.
Deep blue china
Reference to delicate and valuable items, indicating the importance of what's present.
Found on the table by the wine
Associating something valuable (china) with the setting of a special moment (wine on a table).
So fine
Emphasis on the beauty or quality of the situation/moment.
It brings out flavor
Comparing the enhancement of flavor to the enhancement of life by a significant presence (possibly spiritual).
Like You bring out color in life
Similar to how flavor is brought out, someone (presumably significant) enhances life's vibrancy.
Oh, I miss you so
Expressing a deep longing for someone or something absent.
The feel of forever
Desire for an everlasting feeling or connection.
Oh, that taste I know
Yearning for a known, cherished experience.
It hurts to remember
Painful emotions linked to remembering a past experience.
Unfortunately high
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or distressed.
Ironically dissatisfied
Contradictory feelings—having much yet feeling unsatisfied or unfulfilled.
I miss You
Reiterating the longing and emotional absence of the significant presence.
I miss You
Repetition emphasizing the sentiment of missing someone or something dearly.
Oh, I miss you so
Restating the deep longing for the absent presence.
The feel of forever
Desire for a lasting connection or experience.
Oh, that taste I know
Recollection of a cherished taste or experience leading to emotional pain.
It hurts to remember
Pain associated with remembering the past.
I had a fleeting thought this morning
Reflecting on a passing thought, possibly related to the absent presence.
And I mentioned you today
Mentioning the absent presence in conversation, causing emotional distress.
It breaks my heart just to know You in part
Feeling heartbroken by only partially experiencing the presence of someone significant.
And not to be with You where You are
Longing to be in the physical or spiritual presence of the significant entity.
