[same heart, new mind]

I miss you.

I think.

I used to think I missed

The comfort;

The laughter;

The memories

Traced across my skin,

Ingrained in my memory.

blank space

I was wrong.

This time

I do—

I miss you.

blank space

The version of you that I miss

Isn’t there anymore.

Turned into something else

It stares back at me

Without the warmth

It once brought.

blank space

It makes my heart ache

It’s minimal.

Maybe I do

Feel it inside my chest, but

It doesn’t break me anymore.

No longer feels like

A colossal tear

In the very core that keeps me alive.

blank space

I wish I could’ve saved you from hurting me.
