May I Miss You?

May I miss you a little?

When I hear a child laugh?

May I miss you when I'm at the movies 

Watching Jackie Chan?

May I miss your eyes when 

I'm staring at the Mona Lisa?

May I miss your smile

Whenever something makes me laugh?

Will you allow me to miss 

The times we kissed?

On sunlit days and rainy nights

When I'm in bed, dying of fright?

I miss you every day

And with each day 

I miss you a little more 

And one day I hope

I'll be able to stop missing you

But if love is red

I am colour blind
