Metaphor 1

"I miss you"

To see you when
I wake up
Is a gift I didnt think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
Is a three-fold, utopian dream.
You do something to me that I cant explain.
So would I be out of line if I said,
I miss you.
I see your picture,
I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days,
but already Im wasting away.
I know Ill see you again
Whether far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care
And I miss you.

"I miss you" by Incubus contains a metaphor stating that knowing she feels the same as he does is a three fold utopian dream. He is comparing her loving him to something beautiful and almost unrealistic, as in a dream. The song is about a guy loving a girl but they seem to have seperated and he explains how he misses her and cares for her and will see her sometime again.
