I Miss You In Every Way

Sneha Sebastian

You were that chain watch guy, lean and tall,
Messy hair and that stupid laugh, I miss it all.

And I feel so foolish writing heartbreak once again,
Like every page I write just leads me back to pain.
Why’s there never an ending, why does love still hurt?
I really thought this time would finally work.

There are nights I miss your voice so bad,
But replaying your voice notes makes me feel sad.
I miss your stupid selfies, the way you’d smile,
How you made every small moment worth a while.

All your jokes and all those pretty little lies,
The way your eyes would light when you caught mine.

I even miss the times you got on my nerves,
The fights, the teasing, every reckless word.
I miss scolding you for the smallest things,
And the way you’d still care through everything.

I miss the way you’d explain the things I never knew,
Like every answer somehow sounded better from you.
I miss how easy it was to reach for your name,
Like no matter the hour, you’d still stay the same.

I miss staring in your eyes while telling you the truth,
How deeply I loved you, how safe I felt with you.
I miss you in every possible way,
Far more than my pride would ever say.

And now I’m scared you’ve grown tired of me,
Or maybe there’s a prettier girl you’d rather see.
I’m scared you’ll never come back like before,
That I’m the one still waiting while you’ve closed the door.

I’m scared we’ll never live the life we said,
The little dreams we painted in our heads.
And what hurts the most, what I can’t pretend,
Is thinking I may never see your face again.

I’m scared you won’t feel the same anymore,
all the love we had doesn’t reach you like before.
I’m scared you won’t smile at me the way you used to do,
Or look at me like I was still your favorite view.

I’m not someone who waits around,
But for you, I’d stay till my heartbeat drowned.
I’m not the type to say “I’m sorry” first,
But for your love again, I’d take the worst.

I’m not the one who comes back twice,
But for you, I’d cross through every fire and ice.
I’d trade this whole world just to hold you near,
Just to hear you say you still want me here.

I would die for you or live in pain,
Just to have your love all over again.
I’d write you into songs, turn pages into art,
Carve your name so deeply it outlives my heart.

I’d paint you in colors time can’t erase,
So even after death, the world remembers your face.

I would do anything for love, it’s true,
But none of it matters if it’s not the same for you.
I would let you go if that’s what you need,
And still wait right here with my heart on leave.

I would pretend that I finally moved on,
Act like your memory in me is gone.
But the second you call, no matter the time,
I’d answer like you were still completely mine.

    Lots of deep, romantic feelings in this poem. As I read, I couldn't help but wonder if the author was in tears as they wrote it. Condolences, but great work. Especially on writing it down. I thought it was a beautiful read, thank you.

      Here is the fear of loss already noticed and the desire to return to the relationship that acts as if it were not so. A lovely write that many can identify with
