I miss you from my toes
painted bright red
red that reminds me of you
since you always looked better than I did in red
I miss you from my knees
the ones we'd compare
and all the bumps and bruises
from playing each other in basketball
I miss you from my waist
the waist you insisted was smaller than yours
at least you had hips
and attracted all the boys
I miss you from my stomach
and the bellybuttons we promised we'd pierce
together once we left home
I miss you from my shoulders
and feeling your arms rest on them as we'd hug
the weight on my shoulders more than that
as I miss you too much
I miss you from my head
and all the memories
As everything I look at
reminds me more of you
I miss you from everything
and just want you here

Sometimes a soul mate isn't a lover or spouse, but a best friend. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder, but honestly, it really *****
