I miss you like some sort of crazy frenzy where I keep floating
up, up, up
I miss you like something stupid and poetic that I can't think of right now.
Sometimes I get real confused, and I start thinking we're together when we're not.
I look for you in the open space of my life, and you aren't there.
I think I smell your deodorant, which probably sounds disgusting but it's true.
I think I see you, which is impossible because you're never actually there...
but I see you. I don't know how.
Maybe it's some hallucination.
Maybe I'm constantly high, but you always said when you were with me you felt like you were flying.
So I guess that's okay.

I don't know, it probably sounds crazy
considering it's not like we were together all that long
but you don't know how close people can get
when they want to be
and I was so close to you
that's why I seem to find you in my cereal at 2 in the morning
when I've ran out of tears and just start breathing weird
and dry vomiting
which probably sounds disgusting but it's true.
I miss you
and if you find that it's weird
and you think I'm crazy
then I guess I am
for writing something like this that doesn't make sense.
well, this is as beautiful as a poem can get
because its real
and yeah,
I know it wasn't all that pleasant to read
and it wasn't tied together very well
but it's really all I have to offer
because like I said
I miss you like some sort of crazy frenzy where I keep floating
up, up, up
I just miss you
I hope that's enough.
