It's Hard Not To Miss You
It's so hard not to miss you
It's not because there is a little less of me without you
Rather because with every beat of every second,
You resonated me
I never had to be frightful
I could have easily told you all things
Like how our neighbor died just yesterday
And how it made me sad
How I wondered how

To open one's mind, new
