I remember the nights
we spent awake
you held me in your arms
I remember thinking
“this is all I ever wanted”
“this is all I could have hoped for”
I remember snuggling deep
within your warmth
I remember the emptiness I felt
when you left
and I realize now
it’s your arms I miss the most
your strength and protection
your warmth
I don’t miss you
anymore
I only miss what we knew
those beautiful nights
we spent alone
holding each other
I miss your arms
I miss you holding me,
but I no longer miss you.
