What You Truly Miss


what really happens 
when you break up?

in a moment 
where the tension rises
the answer is, 
“let’s just be divided”

division…
like in two

where I will just go-be-me
and you will just go-be-you

it seems
right then
right when
it’s just the worse,
that somehow 
our relationship 
now has 
some kind of curse…

division…
in two

like being quarantined
where I will just go-be-me
and you will just go-be-you

for awhile
there’s relief
even in our minds
there’s this belief

that this was right
no more warring
and no more fight
no more chaos
no more confusion

so we buy
into the illusion

of being one
just by ourselves
when our relationship
was suppose to quell

that aloneness…

what really happens 
when you break up?

you miss the laughs
you miss the crying
you miss the doubt
and miss relying

on each other…

you miss the warmth
of their naked body next to yours
you miss the kissing,
where both your hearts would soar

you even miss the fights 
with great make-up-sex-at-night

you miss 
that they don’t call

and you miss,

that they really miss you…

and that just may be, 

what you truly miss most of all…
