Love is Another Word for Missing You (poem)

it's early morning,
and i've yet to go to bed.
i'm sitting here
missing you like crazy,
but i can't get you
out of my head.

oh, there's a word for
this feeling, but i replaced
it with missing you.
if this is loneliness, dear,
then I could be missing you.

it's a quarter past three, and
i'm missing you, dear.
although i'll be patient,
i'll make this clear:
my heart grows fonder for you,
and oh! i wish you were near!

yes, here's my word for
this feeling, and I have called
it just missing you.
we know it's loneliness, dear,
so I could be missing you.

although it's called love
it's too early to exchange
words like "I love you".
we have not met yet, it's true.
still I could be missing you.

so let's call it "love",
and let me say "I love you".
and let us plan to
meet one day in the future
so we can say "I love you"!
