tsunami tides

you know when you miss someone so much it’s like tsunami tides washing over you and it almost hurts to breathe you just stand there, not knowing what to do overcome with emotions that makes you think of days long gone and people that have walked away from you. i didn’t expect you to be gone so soon— i feel like our conversation is still hanging in the air just waiting to be continued i still have so many things to say to you but i guess they’re going to have to be left unsaid, forever stuck in my throat sometimes i sit here with my heartache raging quietly inside of myself and i don’t know what to do with my hands my chest feels tight and i feel like i am drowning i want this feeling to stop now but i know it’s going to take a while so i just sit here and try to repress it because i don’t want to let it overcome me.
