how can i say this
so that you understand
exactly how much i miss you?

i feel an aching in my fingertips
that cannot be shaken
and i cling to the little bits
you've left behind
i try to picture what it was like
before you were gone,
but you're fading

i fear the day i wake up
and you are not
the first thing on my mind

i fear that one day
i will forget someone
who meant so much to me
