I Miss You Because...

I miss you.
I miss you because
Of the balance I feel
When we’re together.
I miss you because
I don’t have to be the luminary
I don’t have to be the daylight
High noon, full glow
I miss you because
I am allowed to be
Moon-ly
I can be an ocean
And also a sea of stars.
I miss you because
You understand what I am
Without translation
And don’t expect me to be otherwise.
I miss you because
Of your protection
I miss you because
Of your warmth.
I miss you because
You artfully allow me
To hide in plain sight,
‘Til I’m ready to be seen
Shrouded in robin’s egg skies...
Though chasms of space/time
Separate us now
I still miss you.
Just because.
