I miss

I know I’m not supposed to be waiting.

 

I don’t need you. I don’t.

I miss.

 

I miss the feeling

Of softly leaning on your shoulder

I miss your smell

Within my sheets

 

I miss the warmth

Of you all around me

And your fingers

Running my skin

 

I miss your eyes

Leaning on me

Reading the sparkle

That makes me pretty

 

I miss our nights

I miss our mornings

I miss our lives

I miss our dreams

 

Sharing smiling eyes

Bursting into laughter

Lose all disguise

True together

 

I think about you

Through everyone of my heartbreaks

I miss you the most

At my highest happiness

Running my skin

Leaning on me
Reading the sparkle
That makes me pretty

Not ashamed to say this made me cry. This is a wonderful poem, it really speaks to the heart, and I think we can all relate. Wonderful piece....

Some things we miss forever, beautiful in its sadness and the last two lines said it all.
