I miss you because the night frightens me
I miss you because I can’t remember why I don’t miss you
I miss you because the sun isn’t shining anymore like how it was when we were talking
I miss you because all that you said is echoing over and over in my mind
I miss you because the smell of your hair is lost to the smell of dinner
I miss you because the colour of your fingernails is washed away into the seas of misery
I miss you because the milk I drink is as white as your teeth
I miss you because I don’t know what else to do but to wait for you
I miss you because at work people don’t remember what my favourite movie of all time is
I miss you because at home the parents think I’m the worst child in the world
I miss you because you are you and I am me and we were meant to be but I don’t know anything anymore
I miss you because you are always on my mind
And yet I tell myself not to miss you
To keep moving forward
And yet my pillow is wet from tears
And my heart is breaking into pieces
Yearning
Waiting
And imploding from the coldness of the world
When the sun of my world disappears for the night
I miss you because you are all that and so much more
I miss you
