First Time Lover, Long Time Listener.

I miss the void

that you have filled with the loveliness of your presence.

I miss the responsibility to loneliness

Versus the upkeep of

loyalty

and I miss the empty smirks and meaningless flirting

versus the threat of

lifelong ownership.

I’d miss you too, if you were

to fade.

But the void would welcome me with open arms and flowers

Just the same as you.
