Have you ever missed someone?

Have you ever missed someone?

Really missed them?

 

Not because of what they could do for you

Or the opportunities you were missing out on

Not because they are part of your family

And you are supposed to miss family

No, genuinely missed someone

To feel that, you weren't the same

You could never be the same

As long as she was gone

 

Have you ever missed someone?

 

To love her so intensely

And to feel her love, the same level as yours

You two became one person

You held each other, you melted together

Into something singular, a single heartbeat

And of course, The world is only right

When you are in her arms

You realize, you are a shell without her

A skin, a cast, a husk, nothing

Nothing without her

 

Have you ever missed someone?

 

Everything reminds you of them

The Sun, Trees, The Sky, EARTH

And other things, the more important things

How you cant make a sandwich, because

That is her favorite bread

How you can't listen to music,

You met at a concert

How you can't go to the park,

memories of the first date

How you can't read the postcards,

without breaking down

 

Have you ever missed someone?

 

Have you spent hours trying to remember

Exactly how her hand feels,

Interlocked in yours

Or her hips brushing against you

Walking together

Or her hair, always getting in the way

When you kiss

 

Have you ever missed someone?

I have.
