I miss you, deeply
Like children miss the sting
Of a friendly bee
Sincerely, now
I miss you like dried up wood
Misses a fire
Honestly, I do
Like cats miss the groping hands
Of touchy toddlers
I admit, I think
I must miss you somewhat more
Than my cold last week
It is weird, you know?
How much I can’t imagine
My life without you
And yet, here I am
Missing you like today’s wave
Of unfinished tasks
