I don't think she understands
how much happiness I give up sometime
just to see her smile

I miss you
not the I miss you and can't wait to see you again

But the I miss you
and I know we won't talk as much
you're hugs won't ever be the same
I won't get to kiss you when you smile
or reach for your hand after getting in the car

I miss the safety
the comfort feeling
the entirety that is your being

It was only yesterday
and it ***** because
I miss you already

And she moved on from him
like peeling off an worn and tattered sweater
never to be worn again.

Do you ever miss someone so much
long for their presence
like a thirst you cannot quench

when you do see them
it's like that first sip of water
after a long run
a tall glass of lemonade
on a hot summer afternoon
an ice cold beer
after a long day

And you really see them
drink in their energy
gulp it down
like it's the most decadent flavor
to touch your tongue

And now that I've had a taste
I'll never stop craving you

It takes so much effort
to build up my good mood
But it's worth it
to be smiling and happy
Yet the structure itself
is so fragile
and easily destroyed
