dear moon,
i sat down
on the couch
beside mom today
she looked at me
and said ' long time
no see — i miss you '
maybe she has
been noticing the
one too many hours
i spend locked up
in my room
i didn't say
anything because
i couldn't
she was right
it has been quite
some time now
and things aren't
the same (not that
they'll ever be)
and in that moment
i realized nobody
could ever miss me
more than i miss
myself
