Missing you

there are moments
when the world feels quieter
as if your absence
has softened the noise around me
I find myself reaching
for the familiar places
you once filled
the conversations we never finished
the laughter that still lingers
in the corners of my mind
missing you
is like holding onto a shadow
feeling your presence
even when I can’t touch it
the ache is gentle but constant
proof that love doesn’t fade
only changes shape

  1. Loved this so much! Bellissimo, My Dear, Bellissimo!
    I love the way your words so tenderly touch my heart
    and make it feel the feelings!!

    Especially loved the ending:
    “missing you
    is like holding onto a shadow
    feeling your presence
    even when I can’t touch it
    the ache is gentle but constant
    proof that love doesn’t fade
    only changes shape”.
