You left a few days ago..
You didn't say goodbye to me..
That same night,
I got drunk.
I'm pretty sure I drank more than my body weight in whiskey.
And I don't remember a lot of that night.
But I do remember when I got home..
I was far past drunk.
And I stumbled to my room.
I got dressed for bed,
And bed is where I went.
I stopped for a second,
Or maybe longer.
I'd left your shirt on my bed.
And I remember sitting on my bed,
And hugging your shirt to my chest.
And I remember not being able to breathe.
I remember crying,
Because you were gone.
I remember just saying your name,
Over and over.
I was a crying mess,
And my only coherent thought was of you.
The only words I could form was your name.
I said your name probably a hundred times,
And I told myself I missed you.
And I told myself I loved you.
And I missed you so fucking much,
I drank more than my weight in liquor,
And I still couldn't get you out of mind.
