I miss you, I really do!

I want to carve I miss you on a stone,

etch it deep so the weight feels known.

Not a soft whisper, not some gentle trace—

I want to throw it straight at your face.

So you’ll finally feel the bruise in my chest,

the hollow ache that never rests.

Missing you isn’t light, it’s not sweet—

it’s a burden, a boulder dropped at my feet.

I want the crack of the rock to explain

the sharp kind of love that turns into pain.

Not to hurt you, but to make you see

Just how much your absence crushes me.

You’ll be in my heart till the day I leave

I will always wonder what made you leave

I miss you, I really do…

But I can’t wait for you, I won’t stay in the blue.
