I Miss You
I missed you today.
Not the one that noticed my clothes,
or commented on the way I wore my hair.
Not the one who said it was my fault,
that I provoked it,
that I should have been different.
Not the one that turned away
when I needed help most.
I missed the you that held me when I cried,
who encouraged me when I doubted.
The one that always showed up
who made me feel less alone.
The one who took time to know me,
That never made me question
whether I was worthy to be seen.
I missed you,
even though we’ve never met.
