missing

the worst part about it is

I fell in love with you that night 

I fell in love with someone that didn’t want me anymore

— that couldn’t love me back

I had to watch you walk away the next morning 

with no hesitation 

you didn’t look back once

I had to stand there and watch

heart cracking

as you walked out of my life

100% 50% 10%

I wanted you all of you

and I let myself be naked with you

in every sense of the word 

I’ve never let my guard down for someone like that


I didn’t know I could love someone like that


and I know it sounds cheesy

when you try to explain your feelings for someone

but you wanna know how I know I loved you?

it’s because it feels like a piece of me is missing 

I search for you in everyone I’m with

and I can’t find you


I told you I would love you as best as I could

I don’t think you were prepared for that

the only difference between you and me is that

everything I told you

I was ready to follow through

and I wish I could’ve had the chance

to show up for you in the way than I intended 

until then your DNA is intertwined with mine

100% 50% 10% 

I will always have a part of you
