Missing Parts

No Longer In My Photographs

There are so many things I'd say I missed

Your eyes, your smile, the way you kissed

The way you made me try new things

And how you wore those old blue jeans

I miss your morning hugs, hello

And how you hesitated to let go

You held me near, and kissed my neck

So many things I can't forget

I miss the sarcastic tone you used

how you played dumb, acting confused

When I messed up a joke's punchline

Or got giddy from a little wine

I miss your touch, your breath, your sighs

And how you cried when I would cry

I loved that you hated to say goodbye

And how brave you were, when it came your time

There are countless things that I will miss

A million things I won't forget

I'll forever miss how you made me laugh

And I'll miss you in my photographs

    This is one way to say farewell to a relationship. Good job.

    I love how personal and vivid the imagery is. You make the reader feel each hug, laugh, and glance as if they were their own memories.

    Wow, that gives life to every emotion we feel when we have to say goodbye, for a moment or forever.

    Tender and aching. Every line feels like a memory held too tightly to let go
