In the pitch black of your room,

you lie there, in your bed, staring at the ceiling.

Listening to the sound of your fan.

Wondering, what's missing? Why?

Why do you feel so empty?

You have everything you need and want.

You have a

great school

wonderful friends

cool electronics

and other novelties,

a loving family,

someone who….

Who would give up everything

for you in a heartbeat,

But as you lie there,

you just feel empty,

Even though you have everything you could ever need or want,

all you truly want, all you truly need,

is a hug.

A hug from the person you loved most dearly in the world,

the one person you will never see again,

but of course this feeling is not new.

You have woken up many a time feeling this way.

So you just roll over and try to fall back asleep.

As you do a single tear makes its way down your cheek,

and you fall into a deep sleep,

like you always do.
