Hakim Fuhad Mansaray Poet Free verse

I FEEL IT, ALWAYS

I feel it, I always do
the silence before you hang up
the last day before I see you again  
the emptiness of the word night
after you wish me goodnight.  

I feel it, I always do  
the warmth that stays after your hug
your heartbeat when we hold hands
the ache of missing you  
before you're even gone.  

I feel it in the little things 
the empty bed, the untouched laundry  
the way my fingers curl around nothing  
searching for the shape of you.  

I feel it in the space beside me 
where your laughter should have been  
in gossips that used to be ours
now just stories I giggle to alone.  

I feel it in my late night chats
too quiet without your messages
in the messages I start to type 
then delete, because what’s the point?  

I feel it, even when I shouldn’t
even when I tell myself not to
even when the world keeps moving 
but I am stuck in the space you leave behind.
