I am missing

I am missing
you who claim me-
a ward,
a follower. Lost,
I find myself
amidst these other
nameless faces.
I am missing
you whom I cannot keep
up with, live up
to, claim as sun
to flower, as moon
to tide. I lose
myself and wonder, wander
whichever way to walk,
to face, to turn. Away
from here, anywhere
else is near.
I am missing
you who pull me
and push me. Away
from here, anyone
else is near. By
and by, these faces
will pass by-
blank as my own,
lost as I am.
Let me pass by.
Let me pass.
Bye.
