Behind the smile

Missing puzzle piece

My heart was left in pieces

It made me confront my weakness

Picking them up felt needless

And my tongue became speechless

I kept myself sheltered

The wounds were left severed

The tears left unmeasured

My life wasn't treasured

I submerged myself deeper in away

For the day I'd emerge better than the shame

It's been a year now and I didn't think I'd feel this way

My heart explodes thinking about you, but you are far away

I've intensified emotions it's all unexplained

You are my missing puzzle piece

Reminiscing about you in every dream

My love to you wasn't wrong, rather felt so true and foreign

Every person I loved felt different except for yours, felt so special

I'm not forcing you to come by my way, no

You know what's right and what's wrong

Yes, people do come and go, I know

But my heart can't let go

Your presence feels like home

Never makes me feel alone

You and I fit together so imperfectly

You are my missing puzzle piece

Don't care about your imperfections

In my eyes, you are imperfectly perfect
