"Some nights
I miss you so much
that I don't even know
how to stop
the heaviness in my heart.
It's as if my lungs are collapsing
and it becomes so hard
to breathe.
Some nights
I miss you to the point
where I'm not sure I can handle it.
I remind myself that I am strong
and I will be alright,
and I know I will
but at the moment,
I forget.
Some nights
I miss you
and it's unbearable
so I just sleep instead.
I dream of you
and this time you didn't say goodbye
and it ends the way I wish it would,
until I open my eyes.
Some nights
I miss you.
I keep missing you.
I miss you when it rains
and I miss you when the sun shines.
I miss you by the city lights
and I miss you when the sun sets by the river.
I miss you when I drink my coffee
and I miss you when I take my walks.
I think
I will keep missing you."
