but im only human
I only miss you on Sundays when the sun peaks through the blinds and the tea tastes like regret and unhappiness.
So I spit it out and make a new batch.
but im only human
I only miss you on Mondays when the dusk meets the dawn and I have to throw the pages of something I loved away.
but im only human
I only miss you on Tuesdays when the scent of you is traceable on my clothes and no matter how hard I scrub its still *there

but im only human
I only miss you on Wednesdays when its the middle of the week and the clouds hide the sun like a punishment and I remember how much you love the rain.
but im only human
I only miss you on Thursdays when I know you would've been home by now, and I would make some ****** dish of food that neither of us would eat but you would say it's "delicious anyway."
but im only human
I only miss you on Fridays when you would put on a movie we've seen seventeen times and absentmindedly rub my hand over with your thumb and I wish you would've rubbed it raw.
but im only human
I only miss you on Saturdays when the cemetery is closed and I have to drive past it on my way to the store because we're out of milk and you're not there to buy it anymore.
