Colorado

Do you miss Colorado?
Do you miss Italy, Mexico or me at all?

Who brings you tea?
Who tells you what the weather's going to be?
Who reads to you when your eyes are sore?
Who covers you when you can't stay awake anymore?

I miss Colorado.
Without being there before.
I miss it because you were there.
But, now, you are gone.
Why did you have to go?
Why can't you come back anymore?

Do you miss Colorado or me at all?
