"I Miss You"

So she says throughout many times of sad distance, but is it true?
If I were to tell someone I miss them, I would make sure to follow through

I would make myself available, for tasty smoothies and shakes
If it were truly someone special, I would offer up reconnection dates

I would be hopeful and excited, and speaking from the heart
It's a way to meet someone again, and maybe have a fresh start

But when she says it, there is nothing there
It's like I try to reach out, but all I grab is thin air

It's a shame though now, that no way can we be...
Not understanding why you started a connection with me

It seems so unfair, to dangle a carrot I can never have
I guess though, receiving the attention should make me glad

It doesn't though--it causes so much grief and it just hurts
For all the love I was going to give--now holds zero worth

I missed you so very much, and thought about you nonstop for days
I would think about your smile, and how I could get lost in your gaze

I miss the joyous fun and the laughter that never cease
I miss the anxiousness to see you and when I did I felt peace

But you don't call at all, nor do you text
It's like I'm gone now, so you just say "next!"....

Out of all your orbiters that give you attention
My heart was sincere and you were my only direction

But your absence shows me that you never really, truly cared
I was just a place holder--for something real, you never dared

So now I read your message "I miss you"... and think "but is it real?"
I don't think it is... I think it's a fleeting moment, but you don't really feel

Because if "I miss you" were true, you would come, but you won't
So I never say "I miss you" back... because now... I don't
