I miss you but
Can’t bear to remember you
I do remember the girl who came
When I met you
I bet she remembers
I bet she has perfect recall
You made her out of essence  
Made her feel important
You told her silently that she was enough
She fit into your grooves
Her smart mouth challenged yours
The tide takes what’s beneath
That’s how it went
You rolled in and made a different version of me
And when you left she died
She disappeared in your absence
But I still feel her
Yearning for you
Believing she can live again
I am not so optimistic
She was created from you
But to me
This is all familiar
And I know there will be others
But not you
Never you
I will never get that version of myself back
