when you miss someone
you start to miss those things
that you never noticed before

like the subtle way
they put their hand on your leg
while you're driving

or falling asleep
on their lap
while watching a movie

when you miss someone
you miss everything about them

you miss hearing
about their hopes and dreams,
finding out what makes them tick
and quiet nights
with barely any words at all

when you miss someone
you miss their scent,
their crooked smile
and their wayward hair

when you miss someone
life seems unfair

but when you miss someone
you know that moment
you see them next
will be the sweetest of all
