Have you ever missed someone?

james-k Poems

Have you ever missed someone? Really missed them? Not because of what they could do for you Or the opportunities you were missing out on Not because they are part of your family And you are supposed to miss family No, genuinely missed someone To feel that, you weren't the same You could never be the same As long as she was gone Have you ever missed someone? To love her so intensely And to feel her love, the same level as yours You two became one person You held each other, you melted together Into something singular, a single heartbeat And of course, The world is only right When you are in her arms You realize, you are a shell without her A skin, a cast, a husk, nothing Nothing without her Have you ever missed someone? Everything reminds you of them The Sun, Trees, The Sky, EARTH And other things, the more important things How you cant make a sandwich, because That is her favorite bread How you can't listen to music, You met at a concert How you can't go to the park, memories of the first date How you can't read the postcards, without breaking down Have you ever missed someone? Have you spent hours trying to remember Exactly how her hand feels, Interlocked in yours Or her hips brushing against you Walking together Or her hair, always getting in the way When you kiss Have you ever missed someone? I have.
