lyrics

Don’t Miss You

I don’t miss you, no
not in normal ways
instead the missing is my friend
who teases me and plays
we have our little rituals
we have our subtle signs
our dances round the lack of you
each of which combines
to tell me I don’t miss you
no, not at least these days

No I don’t really miss you
except when you close the door behind
then all the mocking moments point and grin
just to remind me that they will be my company
for all the time that you’re away
they’ll fatten up and multiply
they’ll fill up the whole day
how then could I miss you
when you’ve left me so much time

There’s no way I could miss you
when you’re everything I touch
an icy glass of ginger ale
a beach, bow tie, brown bread and such
a yapping noise your absense makes
when I try to sleep alone
so I hold on tightly to the void
and claim the missing as my own
no impossible to miss you
I don’t miss you that much
no impossible to miss you
I don’t miss you that much
