“Miss You”
by Sophia O’Brien
I miss you.
I see you in the clouds.
I see you in the air.
You’re like a test that I wish I could pass.
Did I?
I don’t know?
I’m slow, but I don’t want to lose you.
Just because I knew you for a short time doesn’t mean I don’t like you.
I don’t mean to look the other way when I can’t face you.
I just feel alone without you.
I don’t know why I feel lonely.
I miss you.
Sometimes it feels like you are all in my head.
Just because I knew you doesn’t mean you’re a stranger in my mind.
You hide in my memory, and in my history.
You are a mystery that I can’t solve, and can’t dissolve.
Just don’t leave me.
I miss you.
I know you won’t really leave me.
Because you’re always with me.
I know you don’t really know me.
I don’t really know you.
But we are like family, so we should get along.
I don’t know if you like me or miss me.
I.
Miss.
You.
I don’t mean to pretend you don’t exist or to keep you hidden.
You may not be here, but you are always with me.
Just because I knew you, doesn’t mean I don’t know you.
I may be alone, but at least you’re there, and at least I knew you.
I don’t need proof that you exist.
Because.
I.
Miss.
You!
