A poem dedicated to my long distance lover. No matter how many miles apart, you’ll always be my home.

Everyone wants someone to miss,

But no one talks about how much it hurts to miss someone. 

2,429 miles and 33 hour drive apart. 

I miss you. 

Every bone in my body aches

When we’re apart. 

Gravity pulling me 

In the direction of home. 

This magnetic love is 

Destroying me. 

Every day we’re apart I 

Am more certain of how 

I no longer want to be 

Without you.
