a starless night
all gray and dark
the moon felt incomplete
it just watched and waited
a fruitless tree
leaves fall from its branch
the bark
it just watched and waited
a humid air
40 days without rain
the desert
it just watched and waited
plain and simple
vanilla without the sprinkles
the ice cream
it just watched and waited
sleepless night
a bed without the blanket
the kid
it just watched and waited
black and stale
a brew without a taste
the coffee felt incomplete
it just watched and waited
as I watch and wait
what is left is this space
between me and you
you without me
and me without you
the warm hellos
the long conversations
the sincerest laughs
the fondest stories
the silent iloveyous
the sweetest goodnights
the me misses you, terribly.
