I shall miss you

I shall miss you
When the sunrise
rouses you from your slumber
and you welcome the day

I shall miss you
When the moon
swims across the sky
and you bask in its muted glow

I shall miss you
When the twilight
shadows paint your silhouette
against your bedroom wall

I shall miss you
When the night
descends and gently caresses
you like softly billowing satin sheets

I shall miss you
When the days
tumble inconsolably into years
then into an eternity without you

I shall miss you
When that eternity
stretches beyond my dying breath
until your soul resides in my heart
