I miss you.
It’s that simple.
But, like every good cliché,
It’s true.
But it's truth
that's gone astray.
I can’t seem to
Comprehend
Just why exactly
Did it end?
I tried to move on
To the next
(And very nearly succeeded)
It’s complex,
But honestly,
I never really wanted to.
Because, all things
Conceded,
After him,
I still wanted you.
What we had,
I can’t define it.
Because in all your attempts
To refine it-
To what?
To something not
Definable as romance?
In all that,
I never had the chance
To say that I don’t care
About labels, or stigmas
Or even the promises
And fables.
I just want
To be able
To be
With you.
In a park,
In a bed,
In a car.
But we got stuck
Somewhere between hazy words
And what we actually are.
Sure, I miss the ***
(You know I always
Loved that part).
And though I lament,
I never really meant
For you to be mine.
So, you will never
Really be my ex.
I can never lose you,
Nor need to find you.
I cannot miss you-
For we are never
Truly apart.
You are,
As always,
In my heart.
