And of course Every now and then it hits you Like a car crash Like a train-wreck And you feel yourself choking on the unsaid words And vomiting up the residue from drunken kisses Howling at the night sky While friends tell you "it gets better" A truth you do not need to hear Because right now you miss them like a limb And you're dragging yourself around every day Trying to make it to some kind of finish line Some kind of end Where the pain stops hurting Where you stop remembering their name And how you held them and danced with them And spoke to them about how you wanted them And now at 3 in the morning You're lonely and longing And they're with somebody new Who probably kisses them the same as you did And they no longer yearn the touch of your fingertips No longer crave you like water on a summers day Because they have them. They have found someone to hold their aching bones And you are alone. But you are not a reflection of those you have lost And you will be loved by people you have never met And you are beautiful despite their passing You are worthy, don't you forget.
