you know who you are

missing some people in a serious way.

on this cold and "wintery" christmas day.

of all of the words in all of the world, none of them walked into mine...

i'm speaking in tongues and they're all spitting the same slurs.
my lack of interest in their words has me guessing that we're not speaking the same language.

my shunted spirit wants faraway lands and my dreams reach for stars not yet shining...
(forging the future)

my lapsing memory has me sifting for glimpses of your face...
(missing so much of the past)
{*note: mental photography has never been reliable}

today, the hole in my heart aches for your presence...
(what a painful present)

i knew you.
i lost you.
i love you.
i miss you.

the past can't change today and tomorrow will be just as lonely without you there.
