Every Time I Miss You

I could’ve been happy with you the rest of my life. Like something of little value you tossed me aside. And for HER! She brags about how many guys she’s had and can get anyone she wants. Wait and see. You’re nothing but her latest fling; another notch on her bedpost. T.B.

Every time I miss you,
A star falls.
So if you ever look up at the sky
And the stars are gone
It’s because
I miss you too much!

Happiness or Pain

Overall I’m doing well. My job is going good and all my family is healthy. I’m still single and not dating. Is that because I haven’t forgiven myself for hurting you, because you’re stuck in my heart or both? I wake thinking about you most days. G.D.

The first person who’s on your mind
the moment you open your eyes
after a night of sleep
is the reason either
for your happiness,
or pain.

Acceptance

A couple of your old t-shirts are still here. So are your sweatpants I like to wear. Your softball glove’s in the hall closet. There’s a picture of us still on my nightstand. So many things ’round this apartment remind me of us. It hurts, but it’s more painful to think of letting them go. V.S.

I saw an old friend today
He asked for you
He asked of us
I did not say
‘We are no more’
I answered ‘all is well.’
You are gone
Why can I not accept this?
Time will heal all, they say
But the loss is deep
Like our love once was,
you are irreplaceable
But I will replace you
I will love again
