if you were here again


I didn’t realize how much I needed you,

until you were gone.

And I hate myself because,

I thought of you as a friend,

as a distraction.

I thought of you as a distraction from him,

because he was the one I thought I loved.

You were always there for me,

when I cried.

You talked me down saying, “It’ll be alright”,

and “I’m always here for you.”

I took you for granted,

assuming you’d always be there.

And I didn’t realize how much I needed you,

until you were gone,

until I lost you.

I love you,

I whisper it over and over again,

until I can scream it at the top of my lungs,

I love you!

And I miss you.

And I hate myself because,

I’m the reason you’re gone.
