Sad Poetry

A Missing Piece

I did not fully realize I was in love with you until the day we were ripped apart

Not by choice, but by punishment

All of the sudden everything was about you

Everything reminded me of you

The songs in the car, the books I read, the people around me, the movies I watched

Everything was suddenly about you

And it hurts knowing that I love you but am being kept away

My voice is lost along with yours like a chorus of defeat

I don't even know if you are thinking about me, but hell I'm thinking of you

Of everything

Like when you laugh you tilt your head back and squint your eyes

Or when you hug me it makes me feel like nothing could ever go wrong

My head fits perfectly on your chest

I feel loved

I think of your blue hoodie and your cute hair

I can still feel the butterflies in my stomach thinking about the first time you told me you loved me

And i'm sorry I didn't say it back then but I'm saying it now

I love you

I love you so fucking much it broke my heart when I couldn't get to you

I tried to replace you with smoking weed and getting so wasted I could not remember why I started drinking

But highs only last for so long and

When they wear off i'm left feeling nothing at all

But still I think of you

Your like a drug in itself

A healthy one

I can never get enough of you

I find myself thinking of the next time we will see each other

I want to speed time up to when I can feel the safety of your arms around me

I want to see the smile that lights up your whole face

But most of all I want to tell you I love you

And that we will make this work

And that i'm not going anywhere

I will wait
