missing you

it's such an intimate thing, 

telling someone you miss them. 

i've always said it without abandon

because i feel so deeply 

and i fall so quickly. 

i don't know about you,

but for me falling into a friendship with you 

was like puzzle pieces clicking into place. 

you're the quiet intensity to my bright effervescence. 

together, we make sense.

do you remember the day we stayed after work, 

talking in the parking lot for 2 hours?

when i said goodbye you laughed and said

it felt like no time had passed. 

my cheeks ached from smiling and my voice was rough

for all the words we shared. 

even though tomorrow you'll be there to make me laugh

just like you always do, somehow,

i miss you already.  

so when i tease you incessantly that you'll miss me, too,

i wonder if you can hear it in my voice

that it's really a plea for you to miss me back. 

in another life, maybe, 

it would be very easy to love you.

It is hard to find the words to describe what you feel but you have captured them with minimum effort and pristine. When you miss someone, you are reaching into the depths of your soul to retrieve the piece of themselves that they left with you. Thank you for sharing this. You have me hooked.
