I miss you, but I can't have you.

I miss your laugh, but I haven't heard that as of late.
I miss your art, but now I only see videos of you doing them.
I miss your friendship, but it ended too quickly.

I miss you, but you're hurting.

I miss our conversations, but those were taken away by him.
I miss our comfort, but that was gone when you asked that question.
I miss our trust, but I can't tell what was you and what was him.

I miss you, but you can't either.

I miss our closeness, but we both know it's gone over the years.
I miss our secrets, but I no longer want to tell them.
I miss our letters, but talking to you hurts too much.

I miss you, but I need this.

I miss my excitement, but I don't think you felt the same.
I miss my friend, but one question tore it all away.
I miss my happiness, but I don't know where that went.

I miss you, but...

I can't.
