every precious moment with you
that I spent, it lingers on my mind
the memory of walking out
from everything we had washes
up afresh, and I suffer, I burn.
Is it because I love you?
i ask myself more often than not
when I lay down thinking about
you, Night after night
writing my feelings down on
blank pages full of tears.
My words were never enough
to explain how my love
for you only grew as the
years went by, more rapidly in
every passing second.
in every breath, in every
heart beat, though all the tears
and heartache. my eyes would
twinkle like stars against the dark blue
cloudless sky. every time your name
rolled off someones tongue.
if only you had noticed how
every single inch of my body
screamed your name. How
didn't you notice my breathing
was always unsteady whenever
i was around you. Or when I
walked by you how I reeked of
nervousness.
if you ever use our parting
as an excuse to unsee my
love for you, id show you a
million ways in which I've always
loved you. every time I heard you
speak, it broke me. longing to
hear my name come from your
damn mouth. I missed you while
it rained, I missed you while
looking at the things we loved.
I missed you in the spring,
when flowers bloom .🌷
I wanted to see them with you
but that's something we can't do
because I'm still here without you
people said home is where
your heart belongs, and I guess
i haven't been home in a long
time. And even if I have to wait
forever for you to love me again,
ill be waiting, because you're
where my heart belongs, you
are my home.
