I miss you

I want to tell you that every single day is so much longer than the last.

I want you to know that when I move one small step forward, I blink and I’m a thousand steps back

I know that you’re in there locked away… Your body is still as beautiful and perfect as ever. But I have never loved you for your flesh.

My words used to crawl between your aching bones and heal them, and now they slip through your hands like grains of sand… and you are indifferent.

My mind dances down memory lane and I’m sitting in Denny’s with you for the second or third time. But unlike my usual, I get a stack of blueberry , white chocolate chip pancakes. They were amazing. But what really compelled me, was that every single Saturday and Sunday morning from then on, you made it your mission to make me the best pancakes you could, from scratch. Almost three years later, I haven’t told you that I never liked pancakes. But I would eat yours any day.

Now Saturday comes and I’m sitting alone on the couch drinking a cup of coffee that has seemingly gone cold.  

So I go for a drive , and the radio is a painful mix of all your favorite songs- The 1975, every hip hop song you blared as you cleaned your room, Mexican music, everything.

I remember when you asked me if I had ever been kissed in the rain , and I had never been kissed at all until you. You told me that you had. Then one day it’s raining and I wonder deep down , if you’re dwelling on that rainy kiss, and if you miss her. I realize it doesn’t matter , because it’s raining and I want nothing more than to press my lips against yours. Then I realize I would rather kiss you on a sunny day because your eyes look so captivating when the sunlight hits them. They look like melted gold, and I want to be rich.

When I go to sleep at night, I’m haunted by you. Firstly I can never fall asleep anymore. I wake up so , so early because the loneliness creeps under my skin. But my dreams are the worst- I dream of us in a beautiful home, designed exactly the way you wanted. The pancakes are there too, and the coffee, and you’re strumming your guitar. Right when you’re about to sing, you’re gone and I can’t stop hearing the music.

I remember when I asked you why you never bought me flowers, you went and got me the most beautiful orchid I had ever seen. Then I let it die on accident when we went on vacation. I remember you kept the vase that it was in and wanted to use it as a cup.

I realize that I’m driving so fast, I have to slow down. I realize that I’m driving, and that I no longer have the sweet privilege of sitting in the passenger seat, watching the wind rush and blow through your soft, fluffy hair and your beard. I’m the one behind the wheel, and I don’t know where I’m going, I just hope that you’re there… i look up , and realize the sun is gone, and that is is raining again.
