Him

“I miss you”

As the words run rampant in my mind

I was met with emotion

The kind that leaves you breathless

The sort that changes you

For I knew what those words meant

My brain all too happy to remind me

Of the love

The compassion

The dedication towards him

That I’ve given so freely

And yet,

Another part of me screamed it to be false

That those words were not true

That my feelings were for not

That he was only desperate

He didn’t love me like I him

I was convenient

There

But,

Even as those thoughts came

My own resolve strengthened

I found the strength

The courage

To whisper

“I miss you too”
