It's hard to explain
when I don't understand it myself
but in this story
I miss you like you're not already mine
and my heart feels like stone
as though you're not wrapped tightly in my arms
I miss you so much it hurts to breathe
in this story it feels like I'm watching you through a telescope
from afar
gazing at you through a busy array of stars
I'm in the dark
longing to be besides you
the brightest light
I smile and you smile back
I wish you were here
