I Lied

by C Cattaway   Jul 27, 2017


I wish we'd had text messaging
When you and I were friends.
I wish you had a mobile phone
Up there, so I could send
A little smiley face, or heart
To let you know that I
Am missing You, all these years on.
And cannot help but cry.
You know, it's been 23 years!
I've got so much to tell.
Our laughs, our cries, our secrets too..
You held me when I fell.
I cannot make the words become
A sentence that I mean.
I cannot miss you any more,
Yet it's more than it seems.
I didn't handle yesterday.
This week has been a slog.
I missed you when my head was clear.
My love became this fog.
I wonder if there really is
A life beyond this place.
But right now, all I really know
Is that I miss your face.
I miss your silly sentences.
I miss the way you smile.
I said I would try not to miss you.
Sorry, but I lied.

Always missed, Janine x

    This is so special, if I'd written this ! Not that I could have. It would have been locked away forever.
