I’m shaking
I can’t breath

I’m lost
I’m stuck
I don’t know where I am

You reach your hand out
A way for help
You made me love you

You talked to me
Made me feel important
Like I actually mattered

You understood me
You were going through it too
I helped you as you helped me

It lasted 17 days
That’s all
Until I was just another person

Left on the floor
Broken
Like a shard of glass

I had no one
No one to understand
To help

Yes, I have friends
But they aren't like you
I felt something with you

You smile in the halls
You wave
I smile back

But I’m silent
I realize it was over
Before it even started

Then why do I miss you?
