Tu Me Manques

Tu me manques (You are missing from me, also, I miss you) you tells the tale of a forlorn young adult who yearns for nothing but to see - or hear from the love of his life at least once more.

you are missing from me

I don’t really remember the last time I cried,

But I’m beginning to feel tears well up in my eyes.

Perhaps it’s Johann Pachelbel’s Canon in D composition,

Or perhaps, it’s the fact that your pictures are not enough substitutes of you for me.

I really can’t say how many times I’ve picked up my phone,

Hoping to have woken up to a text or a missed call.

It stings a bit to not know if you’re okay,

Or if you were not able to manage a smile today.

My mind creates all possible scenarios,

Of what you could be going through all the way there

- and it’s crazy.

Perhaps, I’m too sane to do anything rash,

Or maybe I’m just too scared to check up on you on the other side of the country.

---

In my head, we have lengthy convos;

Half what we’ve talked about

And half what my brain is constructing.

I smile at nostalgic the memories

And crazy things we both did spontaneously,

Kinda like a middle schooler, head-over-heels for someone.

The point is, I miss you

- So much it’s beginning to hurt.

Yeah, I know I cannot see you in person

- At least, not now;

But is it too much to ask to hear your voice?

---

I’m guessing it’s probably not your fault things are this way,

And I feel you’re probably having as much of a rotten time as I am, if not more.

I really do hope you’re doing very well

And we can resolve all this as very quickly

Just so I get to hear your voice soon

- Well, that’s if, I can’t get to see you.

Je t’aime trop, ma cherie coco.
