When I say
That I miss
You what I
Mean is that
I miss me
The me that
You knew that
You made me
Believe that I
Was to you
Without that me
I’m back to
Simple old me
When I say
That I miss
You what I
Mean is that
I miss me
The me that
You knew that
You made me
Believe that I
Was to you
Without that me
I’m back to
Simple old me
Like an untethered
Boat that has
Drifted out to
Sea with the
Tides of day
You’re now hundreds
Of miles away
Far off shore
A late night
Snowfall has blanketed
Us and I
Awake to the
Chill of distance
I do understand
Yet wished you’d
Say that it
Is no longer
I but anyone
The easiest thing
To become is
Lovers the hardest
Is friends post
The transition lies
In truth courage
And trust the
Heart knows what
The mind cannot
I shall leave
You alone the
Same way that
We stumbled across
Each other before
I have been
A listing ship
Past-laden and
Heavy abandoned by
Those responsible left
To break upon
The same rocks
They tried navigating
At first I was
A wreck until
I was accepted
By the reef
Of which I
Now proudly beam
I am one
Of you here
At long last
I am rested
Once again my
Wounds have healed
My armor strong
And swords sharpened
I have awakened
From winters lull
To springs birth
The long cloudy
Days of monsoon
Emotions and raining
Heartache have finally
Been replaced with
Fresh growth and
Greenness at long
Last now I
Wonder what and
Where and if
While standing upon
The hill of
My life trusting
That newness is
Beyond the next
Crest and valley
The hardest part
About leaving anything
Is making the
Decision to leave
This includes love
Jobs and life
