Now

When I awaken

In the morning

After a nap

In the middle of the night

I want to be with you

I can't be with you b/c I have to take on the day here, now.

When I'm tired

Not enough sleep

After a days work

Weary of parenting 

Staying up too late

I want to be with you

I can't be with you b/c I have to be about my responsibilities here, now.

When I go places

Here and there 

Around town

On a walk

On a trip

I want be with you

I can't be with you b/c I have to get done what needs to be done here, now.

When I talk 

To you

With you

For you

About this

About that

I want to be with you

I can't be with you b/c I have to engage in the conversation from here, now.

When I'm angry

At co-workers

At kids

At you

At the world

I want to be with you

I can't be with you b/c I have to work through it from here, now.

When I'm laughing

With you

At you

At me

At whatever

I want to be with you

I can’t be with you b/c I have to enjoy the moment over the phone from here, now.

I miss you

When I awaken

When I'm tired

When I go places

When I talk

When I'm angry

When I'm laughing

For now, I miss you

More often

More ways

More reasons
