Poem: Missing People

Missing People 

8 June, 2021.

I shouldn't miss you: 
You haven't even left me yet. 
I shouldn't miss you: 
You abandoned me. 
I shouldn't miss you: 
You, too, abandoned me. 
I shouldn't miss you: 
You were ready to die. 
I shouldn't miss you: 
You were horrible to me. 
I shouldn't miss you: 
I'll be seeing you tomorrow. 
But I do, and I do, and I do, and I do, and I do, 
And I do. 
Missing people has nothing to do with them, 
With what they did or what they may do, 
And everything to do with how 
We felt about them. 
Missing someone 
Is the sound of the love we had for them 
Crying.
