I Love You to Pieces

I know you can read my mind and even if you couldn't my eyes would say it for me.

I haven't seen you in months and I don't bother to try reaching out.

I know what I feel and I know you don't know how to feel.

Don't try, just listen.

You are the centerpiece of art that decorates the walls of my mind.

Every time I see someone wearing yellow I turn to see if it could be you.

It never is but that doesn't mean I won't still look.

Nobody forgets how their person made them warm inside.

If you never come back around to me,

and if I never hear your voice again,

please know that every time I told you I loved you

and didn't hear anything back,

it didn't matter.

Every time it happened I'd feel various parts of me shatter,

but I glue myself back together in hopes that someday,

you'll tell me I was always your missing piece.
