Miss You Not Us

It’s been hard

Without you

Today I missed you

More than normal

But I didn’t miss “us”

I only missed “you”

 

Having you there

Being myself

Our conversations

The openness

 

When I’m with you

The problems of life

Seem smaller

Less burdensome

 

When you hug me

It’s so deep

I feel your care

I feel your support

 

I miss that now

I miss the person

That stands beside me

That supports me

 

It’s been hard

I miss you

I miss me

I miss what you give me

Author's Note

It's been said that a good relationship is one where you can truly be yourself with the other person and they make you a better person, more true to yourself. When I find that person, it changed me in so many right ways. But that relationship is long-distance which takes on even more.
