I Used To Miss You
Location
The day you left,
The day I dropped you off to go start your new life.
I wiped your tears as you cried, and said goodbye,
I told you it would be okay, and hugged you endlessly until I had to walk away.
We had had it rough before,
Too many ups and downs.
But I needed you.
You were my better half,
You made me whole.
But I didn't comlpete you.
And that had been shown before.
I always knew that I needed to try harder,
but I didn't realize my effort wasnt enough for you.
I'm only good when I'm needed.
And I showed you what not to look for in other humans.
The greif feels bitter and angry.
Somehow underneath all the sorrow is such infuriation.
I used to miss you.
I used to cry to others about your absence,
Thinking that you missed me as much as I you.
But I was wrong.
I was never good enough for you, and I have come to realize that's alright.
But it's time to let go.
I can't fix what you don't want to keep.
Give me a call?
I'll still be here when I'm needed.
Just as always.
Hoping you'll want to be my best friend again.
I used to miss you.
Now you're just an absent memory.
