i miss you is harder to say than i love you.
i love you is difficult, it's true.
but i miss you suggests something more;
"you were here, now you're not, i'm hurting from a lack of you."
and that somehow feels more vulnerable than love
whose fleeting, temporary words
i have said to those
i now most abhor.
love's promises and delights
are crushed into dust
while i miss you means
"i want more."

not really a poem, more a thought.
