Another sleepless night- it's after five. I've searched for your voice, but I seem to have lost it to the gap I left between what should have never been good bye and now. I miss you, and I ****** it up. I mourn memories we never got the chance to share- my hand in your hair, yours on my hip, tongues entwined, noses touching. I want you back. I want you back so bad, but distant, still. I want to draw flowers on your skin, fall in love with your smell in your slacks with your toothbrush. I still see the stars in your teeth. God. I miss you so much, now.
