On nights like this

---

I miss your way with words,

you always knew the right things to say when I was at my lowest.

I miss your hugs,

I always felt safe wrapped around your arms.

And I miss your sweet aroma,

I can still smell it lingering in your sweaters.

I miss the way you made me feel so safe.

I miss the way you watched over me like the moon watched over the earth.

And on nights like this,

with a full moon shining down so bright,

I am reminded of your light too.

I wish we had more time.

I wish we didn't take our fleeting moments for granted.

I wish I could see you one last time.

I wish you didn't heave to leave so soon...

It's been a while,

and on nights like this I just wish you stayed a little while longer.
