"do you miss me?"

i love the way your eyes
gleamed
under the bright sunlight
and how they are like
little lighthouses,
beckoning me to come
closer,
because your eyes are my home.

i love the way your
auburn hair
looks like
burning gold when the light
hits you
at a 70 degree angle.

i love the
bear paw shaped birthmark
at the small of your back,
they remind of you,
because you felt like
a teddy bear.

i love how you laugh
like all the grievances in the world
have vanished
and so much happiness fills you,
that it spills out of your being
and infects me and the others around.

i love how you cry,
when you sit on the shower
floor
and let the water hit you
and you brush it off as nothing
but i can still see the tear stains on your
cheeks afterwards
and the swollen eyes give you away
and you eventually fall into my arms
as i rock you gently,
telling you that you are strong
but strong people can't be strong
all the time.

and even when you left,
i loved you.
as i saw you walk away,
i loved you.

so tell me, how could i not miss you?

"no, I don't."
