I could swim in the sheets of my bed for days
Because the outside world is bitter.
And here, where I lay, I am left alone with my last memory of you.
I can feel you next to me
And it's like you never left.

The memory of our last encounter strikes.
You told me you loved me and I cried.
I cried because that moment was pure euphoria.
I cried because I love you.
You hugged me and retreated silently from our place of meeting.
I went home to find your things gone, and a small note with my name on it.
Your shaky hand writing caused me so much pain.

I can still hear your laughter,
and feel your kiss on my lips.
I still have the letter,
stored in the freezer for safe keeping.
I dream of you often,
wondering what your life is like now
and if you miss me.
Because I miss you like the sun misses the stars every morning.
