Emma Marie: I Miss You

I Miss You

It isn't something I can explain,

it's something you have to experience for yourself.

It's the connection that you share with another human being.

And it's not like that connection is a product of anything intentional,

but rather something outside of yourself,

that you simply can't fight.

This connection it pulls you towards them

and when they leave to where ever they go

it pulls on your heart strings.

Because you've taken those aglet tipped strings

with the pasty white laces and tied them in a little bow to theirs.

And they stretch --

but you hope that wherever that person out there is...

that while you're sitting here missing them - that they miss you too.

It doesn't hurt so much because you both give a little piece of yourself

letting your strings tug a bit on both ends and that makes you tied together an "us".

And no matter how much you miss them, it's not about how long you've been apart

or how far they've gone away --it's the moment you say to yourself

"you should be here too. I miss you"

So tonight, when my heart strings are pulling just a bit

and I'm so afraid to let some new person in, to let me miss you,

but I'm afraid I may have tied a little bow,

in hopes that tomorrow --

there will be an "us".

And you know I really am afraid to hope...

But maybe, I keep saying maybe to you and me.
