The days feel hollow without you.
Every sunrise comes, but it doesn’t feel the same—
because you’re not here to share it with me.

I will miss you every single day,
every single month,
every single year,
for as long as I breathe.

You were more than love to me—
you were my safe place, my laughter, my reason to keep going.
Now, I carry your memory like a fragile flame,
protecting it from the winds of time,
keeping it alive in my heart.

The world will keep moving,
but I will always pause for you—
in the quiet moments,
in the scent of the air after rain,
in the songs we used to share.

I am devastated that your story here ended too soon,
but I promise you, it will never end in me.
You are stitched into my soul,
and nothing—not even death—
can take that away.

I love you, always and forever.
Until we meet again.
The world moved on without a sound,
leaving me lost, no light around.
I replay your laughter, the love we knew,
a life so bright, gone far too soon.

No last goodbye, no final word,
just echoes of you that still are heard.
Now grief too heavy, silence too true,
an emptiness filled with memories of you.
My skin buzzes like it’s crawling away from me,
a thousand needles threading through my veins.
Every sound is a blade—
sharp, precise, waiting for me to flinch.
Breath feels like a crime I’m committing in public,
too loud, too shallow, never enough.
Thoughts stampede in my skull,
hooves cracking bone,
and I’m tripping over every “what if”
until my pulse is a war drum
and my ribs are the cage holding the prisoner:
me.
I recently lost my girlfriend so to honor her memory I’m telling my story though poetry and how I didn’t know she passed and nobody told me!
The days move on,
but my heart stays still—
stuck in the moment
you slipped beyond my reach.

I search the silence
for the sound of your laugh,
trace the shadows
for a glimpse of your light.

Every sunrise feels empty
without you to greet it,
every night falls heavier
without your voice to guide me home.

I carry your memory
like a fragile flame,
shielding it from the winds
of time and forgetting.

I’m missing you deeply—
in the quiet, in the noise,
in the space between heartbeats
where you once lived.

And until I see you again,
I’ll keep loving you
across this impossible distance,
hoping somehow, you feel it still.

— The End —
