You miss

You miss me I know that you do. There’s always a doubt In the back of my mind But not about this Because I know you. I know you Better than You know yourself. So I’ll tell you why You miss me. You miss me, I’m sure But you don’t miss me. You miss the girl I used to be. You miss the girl You could use, The one you Walked all over Because that’s what she allowed. She couldn’t say no— Never to you. You miss her ‘talking’ About all and nothing Yet half the time She was silent with you And that’s what frustrated you Most about her— The silence in times You wished she would talk. The talking at all the wrong times. You miss the girl Who never went out To experience life Because it meant Having her all to yourself— Even at the expense Of all of her friends. You miss the girl Who caved under pressure And begged for your love. The one who loved you More than you deserved. You miss the girl Who never argued Because she only wanted peace. You miss the one Who would lie for you And withhold the untold Just to make you look good. The one who let you do all the talking, Knowing you would lie to make yourself look good. You miss the girl Who let you hold the wheel Because it was the only control You’ve ever truly had. You miss the girl Who never asked the right questions Because it meant you could do Whatever you pleased. You miss the girl Who never brought up the past, Unaware that it Always plagued her mind. You miss that girl Who loved you wholeheartedly, Unconditionally, irrevocably Because you know You will never find love like that again. You miss me Because I was the only one to miss. I was that one prominent factor You thought you'd never lose. I was the distraction, The one good thing You always used to say In this unlucky life You have somehow inherited. I was the only promised thing to you And I left anyway. You miss my touch Because that was the first You ever felt true warmth. You miss my smile Because it was the only Sun you ever saw. You miss this girl That I no longer am. You don’t really miss me. You miss the idea You’ve formed in your head. This version of me Is outdated by now. You don’t miss me. You said it yourself; You always knew I would leave. The truth is: you don’t miss me. You just know that I’ll find A person more worthy of my love Than you ever were. You miss me because that fear Will become a reality And then I’ll be gone for good. Inspired by him sharing an 'I miss you' photo on his status.
