Miss Me


I wanna ask if you miss me

but I'm scared to know why

is it my smile that captivates

and makes u look twice

or my eyes that mesmerize

and seem to always be filled with surprise

Could it be my brown sugar skin

that you say taste as sweet as it looks

or my hair that I can never get right

but seems to look perfect after a night of being pulled so tight

Do you miss my touch

the graze of my fingers lightly over your arm

or the caress that sounds a passionate alarm

my intense stare

when we both know I'm about to take you there

Yea...all that's nice

I'm glad that's how you feel

But I really need you to miss

something I find to be a little more real

like when I told you the story of my first real kiss

or the time when i had that game and everyone in the gym knew i couldn't miss

Or how each time i moved

I made a new best friend every year

Or when I left my favorite coach

was one of the few times I actually shed a tear

And the goofy smile I make

when you say something sweet

And the fact that I can never sleep with the covers on my feet

How about when I'm vibing on a song

and i want to explain all the lyrics

did you ever go back and listen

to try and understand why I really feel it

What are the subjects

that you know fascinate my mind

Or the reason I seem to have a passion

for the souls of mankind

Then how irritating I am

with my excited nasaled pitch

Or the two items of clothing

that would fill my closet if I were rich

Then those times that I remind you

How easily my feelings are hurt

Or how everyone knows

That I never learned how to flirt

I want you to miss

the moments time can't recreate

And the unique me

That's in the process of being reshaped

Not just the things I do

That give you pleasure

But if someone asked for details about me

You could honestly say--I know her

So once again

I really wanna ask if you miss me

Then again, its too late

Because I think you've already MISSED ME...
