I Miss You

It’s nights like these where I miss you most. The silence pierced through my mind like a dagger. I don’t hear your laughter or your voice. I don’t smell your scent lingering anymore in the room. The time we spent was riddled with imperfections, We fought almost all the time, But I still loved you. I still love you. I miss everything about you. Years we spent together, Knowing everything there is to know about each other. We took it for granted. I took it for granted. Now that you’re no longer here, The realization hits harder than it ever has. I miss you. I miss your touch, I miss your kisses, I miss things we haven’t done in years. The thought that I lost you, Keeps me from sleeping, As I toss and turn restlessly in our bed. I’m making progress to fix my mind, I’m making progress to fix myself. But it’s nights like these where I miss you most. The warm air reminds me of our times spent in youth, Laughing and talking until early morning hours. Sitting outside your house, Talking about anything and everything. I miss you most tonight. I’m sorry for every single thing I put you through. I neglected myself for so long, I neglected you for so long. Trapped in depression, I let the one thing I love slip away. Progress to make amends. Progress to make things right. I miss you most on nights like these.
