Chapter Text
I miss you.
You let my tears soak through all the layers
that you wore to protect that lonely heart.
But you once opened up your heart to me
and I miss that.
I miss you again.
You lied in my bed and promised me a future together.
Young me used to believe in the illusion
of forever
with you.
Then you stole the naivety of true love
that I willingly handed over.
I still miss you more each day.
Even when you tore my happiness away,
it was ok
because you taught me everything I know about it.
I will keep missing you
and continue to regret
every lost ‘I love you’ that stayed stuck in my throat.
The unspoken words will continue to lock their long, lonely fingers around my neck
and squeeze out
that very last breath of hope.
And until the day I forget what you mean to me,
I miss you,
and I wish that at least you are happy.
