Unsent Love Letters: I miss you

I remembered you today

And the way you broke my heart

The caved in feeling I couldn’t comprehend

Like the air suddenly became toxic

I felt the pain

As though it had just happened

And it almost made me cry

Again

Then I remembered when you said goodbye

The very last time

Which wasn’t a real goodbye at all

Just a warning

I respected your wishes

I always did

But sometimes I wish I had said something

Anything

To fight to keep you

Even though it would have been in vain

I remember how broken I was

I wonder if it hurt you as much as it hurt me

You didn’t seem as affected

Not from where I stood

Maybe I’m a fool to miss you

No one can ever help how they feel

So I miss you, foolishly

Despite my own will
