missing you

Wild Child's picture

I miss you Hiku

 

it is simply that

I miss you rather more then

I had expected

Nero's picture

I never said

 

I never said

I needed you to make me happy

 

Now

Miles of road, woods, rivers, and cities

Hours, and hours upon hours

The only thing they have in common

Is they separate me from you

 

I never said

That your presence filled me

 

Now,

 I miss you

And there’s nothing I can do

No matter how close I get

You’ll be so far

undefinable [dedicated to a close friend]

in 35 minutes i'm going to be standing in front of a crowd,
talking about you,
and i don't know what to say.
 
you are the one who comforted me when i wanted to die,
you are the one who stood by me no matter what,
you are the one who defended me and cared about me,
you are the one person i've looked up these past 3 years
and i don't want you to graduate in a few months and leave me
behind when you go off to college.
 
[i'm going to miss you too much.]
 
and i don't know how i'm going to get my feelings into words, i don't
know how i can possibly sum up who you are in only a few minutes
because you are so much more than words can say, you are
undefinable.

missing you

i'm filled with that heart clenched,
painful ache
that settles in your chest and your bones
and just won't go away.
 
it's the pain of love,
of missing someone so much
that it brings tears to your eyes.
 
yes,
i miss them,
miss my family that loves me,
my friends that have always accepted me,
and him;
the one who my heart skips for,

Laughing at Rainy Summers

When I think of you I think of
airplanes and being free,
swimming in the rain and ice cream
before dinner. I think of
butterfly kisses and late night
phone calls,
singing our hearts out
and feeding the dog under the dinner table. I think of
perfect summers
and all of the time we had together for the first
fifteen years of my life.
(and it was perfect)
 
When I think of you I remember,

Ever Before

My stomach grumbles but I won't eat; I'm not hungry. All emotion and pain is wiped away because I can't seem to feel anything without you here and therefore, I never feel anything but euphoria. I wish you were here to entwine your fingers in mine, to wrap your arms around me, to gaze and to sniff my hair. I don't feel like a person, more like Bella without Edward - empty. At least you didn't willingly leave me in a poor attempt to save me. Dearest, no matter how many times I tell you this, it will always mean the same thing - I miss you more than I've ever missed (anyone)anything before, I love you more than I've ever loved (anyone)anything before, and I need you more than I've ever needed (anyone)anything before.

I've never been this emotionally screwed up and I've never enjoyed life more. Thank you for everything.

Why Do I Need You So Badly?

This day is going by slowly
We've only finished two blocks
It feels like forever

And then after school
I'm not going to be there
I won't be signed on to talk

Why do I need you so badly?

Sweatshirt scents fade
Tears wash them away
Over-sniffing causes neutralization

Etched memories are worn away
I can't remember your eyes
I'm dying

Why do I need you so badly?

Little things I hear in the halls
Other people's voices
Echo like yours

Where we first met, an empty memory
Because you're not there
We're not waiting

Why do I need you so badly?

Away from you
This is the best I'll ever feel
How can you want me?
I wonder who you were supposed to get...
At the thought of seeing you
My heart races
My hands yearn for their companions
I want you near
What kind of cruel world is this?
Providing people with banquets
They can't taste but once a week

I don't mind the hunger though
I know that those few hours
Will completely fill me

Why aren't you here?
Why am I not there?
Why aren't we cuddling?
Why do I feel so alone?
How can night turn to day
If I still can't see my sky?
How can our blood keep pumping
If we're not pulsing with our hands?
How can I smile willingly
If you're not here beside me?
How can I be happy
If we're so far apart?

My hands long for yours
They search blindly
Fumbling over each other
Knowing they're not yours
Because mine aren't as soft
And mine won't tingle

They don't feel without you
