I will miss you,
And the way our bodies tangled together with my leg over your leg and your fingers laced through mine like knots in shoe string, and how we were like two tree limbs who'd grown into each other- how everything seemed like once we were entwined, we could never come undone.
I will miss the sound of your laugh.
I will miss the sound of your breathing, the steady and soft rise and fall of your body, and how loving you was, like living in the quiet on the moss of the forest floor.
And i will miss our long nights together, our long goodbyes together, our endless yet numbered days together, and how we made tribute to each other with love we made like we were holy water flowing from each other's palms.
I will miss running through your fingertips, i will miss the softness of your skin and the look on your face before you come onto my body, when your eyes open up and catch mine searching you for something, and finding it in the golden flecks that scatter through the brown of your irises when you say you've met your home in my heart.
I will miss the alarm clock, and ten more minutes, wet bodies, and our failed attempts at shower sex. I will miss the smell of you, the feel of you, and the way the skin on your chest tightens with the goosebumps that trail after my lips.
I will miss our kisses. I will miss our long drives, i will miss the comfort of your silence, i will miss the electricity that pours through me like the static in a thunderstorm when you look at me from across a room.
I will miss you. Just you.
