I Miss You

by rachel-doty

It would have been better if you had left me for dead in the woods, no sun, no air, no water, no chance of survival, and yet you choose to let me live like this, in a state of madness that I can't control. I should have seen it coming from the start Our paths were destined to part, yet I was a fool and believed the smile you used to enchant me with. I should've known it was all a cruel lie it was in front of me the whole time, all those memories that I cherished. What goes up must come down. Well, that explains a lot, considering that many a few times I thought we were both on cloud nine. We fell like a damaged airplane, crashing and burning. You told me you knew you would make a mistake. I'd be surprised if you haven't already made it. I went through hell and high water for you, yet you would now be inconvenienced to give me the time of day. All our friends were convinced we would live in bliss; be ninety years old sipping lemonade and watching our grandchildren running on our lawn. I thought they were right. And yet, I see your face wherever I go. Every distraction somehow fails. Strangely though, the thing I am most angry about... is the fact that you never came after me. I miss the beating of your heart next to mine. I miss dancing with you in the moonlight. I miss you.
