how can i tell you i miss you?
how can i tell you i miss you
without sounding desperate, or
clingy, or depressing?
how can i convey what i feel
about us, what we were, how we grew,
where we are now, without mentioning
what we did, how we laughed, where we played?
how can i express
how much i miss your voice and
your eyes and your smile?
how can i say i miss you
when, in my mind, you’re still here,
laughing and smiling and playing,
and it feels like i’m gone,
millions of miles away, desperately reaching out,
begging for you to come back.
but you won’t.
how can i tell you i miss you,
when you’re finally gone?
