Missing a version of you,

One I thought I once knew.

I fell in love, and didn’t think twice.

You were the moon to me,

Pulling me in like the sea.

It feels like a twist of fate,

I’ve been told that loving someone is never a mistake,

That loving someone who couldn’t wasn’t a waste,

That it shows how emotionally mature I am.

But it feels like my heart has stopped beating,

Once looked to the stars for answers,

Searching for a way out-

now I’m filled with doubt.

Thought I knew my way,

But was left with dismay.

In the aftermath of it all,

I no longer wait for any call.

Letting something else fill the void,

With silence as loud as winter.

The words stuck in my mind like a splinter.

I’ll keep my memory attached Polaroids,

Refusing to let go just yet.

Shifting like the desert sands,

love is always changing.

Time is a rising tide,

not even the moon can subside.

Seasons fading into the next,

Reeling in the unknown,

As fate’s never written in stone.

Losing someone you love,

hollows out a part of you.

One day, you have them,

and the next,

you’ll never see them again.

The realization stings,

worse than the sun's engulfing hug.
