He
They say it's a momentary crisis
But I've been having this crisis every moment in the day
I miss him
I miss having someone to talk to
Do you know what it feels like to run at seventy-five percent speed
All the time?
He ran with me at full speed
Supported me when I fell
Supported me when I flew
And held my hand when I needed a friend
He listened to my interests with gleaming eyes
He put down all his walls
Just so that he could be closer to me
He showed me everything that was important to him
He let me go when I needed it
He caught me when I needed it
He is on my mind in those lonely moments
He is in my dreams when I least expect it
I love him somehow even though I don't know him anymore
