My heart hurts
Because it remembers you
But it doesn't recognize you
It's been over six months
And your demeanor has changed
You were so hopeful about life then
Now you're a husk
Dry and overworked and empty
Drained of everything you used to be
But maybe it's just me
Maybe I don't see the side of you
That still cares if you live or die
The part that loves video games
Hiking
The sound of my voice
I miss your soul
I feel such loss for you
It's a melancholy malaise that has settled over you
My heart hurts for you
I recognize some of him. The foolish aspects. The parts that make him work himself too hard and do too much for other people. I feel like crying because I miss the person he was.
