I miss opening the door for them I miss surprising them with flowers on a dreary day I miss paying for dinner bringing a smile to her beautiful face I miss spending time on a picnic bench filled with conversation I miss sharing a bottle of much overdue Picazo Cabernet I miss the inspiration that assists in creating a poem I miss the security of our late afternoon talks I miss taking a walk with my good friend I miss discussing the details of the day I miss the chance at a great friendship with quality I miss my missed opportunities.
