Analysis of Missed Most



Touching you, I miss most
When we're apart.
Your touch I miss most.

When we're apart
Phone calls help
Letters help
Memories help
Dreams help

Your touch I miss most
Touch from your eyes
Touch from your hands
Touch from your lips
Touch from your body

When we're apart
Touching you I miss most.
