I miss your footsteps in the hallway. <br />Arriving home from work at 6, always. <br />You would always forget to wipe your feet. <br />Leaving a trail of dirty footprints for me. <br /> <br />I miss your singing in the shower. <br />Missing the high notes, always. <br />You would always forget the words to a song. <br />But without a pause you would carry on. <br /> <br />I miss your laughter at late night tv. <br />Reciting to me the punchlines, always. <br />You would always forget the important lines. <br />Even the jokes you told me all the time. <br /> <br />I miss the essence of you. <br />The things that only you do. <br />The words that only you could ever say. <br />To take the yearning for you, <br />completely away.<br /><br />Rachel Henley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-things-that-make-me-miss-you/
