I mIss

"He doesn't have much time left"

The words crackle on the phone

"Are you going to go?"

I've never been good at goodbyes

always badbyes

but by and by

my irish feet leading me to a quick exit

tires me

"I won't tell you what to do"

Throat muscles clench, as if my tear ducts actually ran up to my eyes from my stomach

But they don't.

"Just know that whatever you do choose will say something about you."

I miss missing certain things enough

I still miss my cat constantly

but I miss missing love enough that I chance falling

But missing is so selfish

"Not everything is about you"

So I won't go.

Don't want to miss

Don't want to be that miss who won't stop crying

Because she can't deal with herself or life's sand finally seeping its last grains to the belly of the hourglass
