there is no poetic way i can think to say i miss you i could start with saying it straight i miss you i miss you i miss you there is no metaphor no simile nothing to liken this deepest pain to there is no missing you in the abstract there is no missing you without saying it straight i miss you i miss you i miss you i miss you when you show me you’re still here but so far out of reach that any effort to try to get to you is rendered useless i miss you when you show me you’re sorry for leaving me like this but so far from coming back that there’s nothing i can do but accept it i miss you when i miss you when i miss you when i go to sleep leaving me only to see you for those fleeting moments in my dreams i miss you when i wake up ripping me from the only moments i can share with you now i miss you in the middle of the day at the worst times at the most inconvenient times i miss you when it storms down hard and heavy sometimes it feels like you’re miserable other times it feels like you apologizing you have nothing to be sorry for you have everything to be miserable over but i still miss you and i wish i didn’t need to i wish i could see you again without hurting you
