Already

#3 in a series of poems about missing someone

So it’s only been one day

and already I feel like half of me is gone.

Coupled with the fact

that I don’t know what I’m doing with life

the fact that you’re not within reach

….is daunting.

 

I miss you.

A lot.

Already.

Thought I was prepared for this.

Turns out I wasn’t.

Got too comfortable

too complacent

too whimsical.

 

I suppose

it’s my impatience getting the better of me.

We’re supposed to be growing up

so we can be better people.

I know this

but my heart is saying

“I want you here”

 

It isn’t my intention to make you feel

Guilty.

I’m only trying to be honest about what I feel

For once.

Author's Note

The poem in itself is very explicit. No pretty language, just words written down as I was contemplating.
