hey there, how’s life i haven’t seen you for a while i’ve been sad, even mad, for all the crazy things in my life, i’ve watched you drift away slowly, gently, and i just let it happen is this what i really want? i ask myself i know the answer is “no” but damn! here i am again with my overbearing pride.
i miss your sweet smile and your tender cuddle on your couch in front of all not mindful what they were thinking, ‘cos all we wanna do is tell the whole world how much love has made us feel high and I miss your sweet kiss that late afternoon in March with your unassuming mommy on the look.
i miss your coffee-colored milky skin it looked so good it made me pinched you all the time i’d do anything to touch it again, right now, right here and this is me not mindful of my pride saying i regret everything i said last night ‘cos the truth is i miss you, and i miss those late afternoon cuddles and embraces on your couch with your unassuming mommy on the look.
i swear i’d run to you the moment i’m okay, ‘cos the truth is i miss you, and i miss those crazy afternoon banters we have over a cup of coffee with your favorite cookie on the side i miss you, and i miss us laughing like crazy maniacs watching our favorite t.v. show for like a million times.
this is me begging you to take me back in time when silence was our biggest scream of i love you when our days were filled with moments of sweet nothings and honeyed thoughtful words ‘cos for now, our silence feels like oblivion, feels like lost in limbo and our words cut deeper than the sharpest knife they come in rapid fire, like work tools knives lined up ready to take on the grind and i really miss you, and i miss those late afternoon cuddles and embraces on your couch with your unassuming mommy on the look.
p.s.
i will be very slow in responding/commenting please bear with me. 🙏❤

Sometimes it happens to do things unconsciously. But if you miss him, if you still feel something, tell him, look for him, write him, send him a drawing, some flowers, look for him and tell him everything.
