3 years

tonight, I miss you

after 2 months of of holding it in

i let myself miss you. 

when you left I tried to shut you out

because 2 years is a long time to miss someone you've loved for the past 3.

tonight I read your letters, 

black words on white paper,

ink minimally smudged;

and my heart broke. 

it broke in the I-love-you-so-much type of way, because you admitted to caring,

you admitted to having a heart,

you admitted to the capability of love;

and your finally admitted to missing me back, 

something I've been waiting to hear for 3 years.

it was closure, but it was an open path

and that's why tonight,

I miss you;

because after 3 years or waiting,

you finally miss me too.
