“I do not miss you
because the loneliness
has finally made its way
inside of my heart
where you once
stayed.
I do miss you
because our home
is starting to feel
like vacant rooms
without you
to fill them in.
I do not miss you
because my body
is starting to forget
the way your skin
felt against its
most sensitive parts.
I miss you because
everything I once
thought meant so much
to me means nothing
unless you are here
to appreciate it too.”
- "I miss you for the right reasons," - Colleen Brown
