how do you miss the warmth
of an embrace which never
belonged, of kisses left
suspended in air, untouched,
the ghost of your fingertips
seemingly brushing against my
cheek, only to realise that all
that was left were my tears and i?
how do you miss the warmth,
of friends who never stayed,
drifting away and vanishing
just as mist, figures barely
holding its form before falling
apart and breaking down,
and when the sun shines once more
all you find is the traces of a love
no longer there, vaporised, lost?
