The loss of a loved one



I miss us, I miss the days we would spend hours talking to each other.
The days we would go out and stay together until the moon reflected on our skin and the stars shone bright.
I miss us.
It feels like the loss of a loved one
You were my family, my home.

I miss us, I miss the days our teacher would have to separate us because we made too much noise in class.
The days we spent hours on call and only realized how late it was when it ended.

i miss us.
so much...
now people ask me where you are, and I can't help but tear up
I miss you
But you've made your choice
and even though it hurts, I will continue to support you

It feels like the loss of a loved one...
You were my family...
my home...

I miss us..
