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.
