00:33 - Symptoms

Maybe, I was starting to think that
I didn't miss you as much as I thought.
But then I saw your name.
It was just suddenly there.

And my breath caught,
Heart stopped,
Chest thumped,
Knees locked,
Eyes stung,
Mouth shut,
Head ached,
Tongue stuck,
Hand flinched,
Toes curled,
Skin froze,
Blood burned.

Who am I trying to kid?
I miss you more than ever.
