I miss you

The minutes go by
Ticking slowly
Second by second
Going slower each time I watch
Until it seems like eternity
Until the next second
Goes by.
Not seeing your smile
Your face
Your eyes
Sparkle
Like a million stars in
The night sky,
Your laugh
Your voice
Are elusive to me.
A thousand miles away
Growing more distant as time goes by
Passing fast at times
And then slow
When I think of you.
Was it yesterday
When I last saw you?
Looking at me
Talking to me
Listening to me
Someone replaces you now
But does not capture my heart
The way you did,
With your childlike demeanor
And calm aura that surrounded you.
Did it mean much
The time spent together?
Two years it was
That you sat beside me
On my right
Always ahead of me
And yet there,
To listen when no one else would
To make me laugh
When I felt lonely enough
To yell
Scream
And cry.
What am I to you now?
A thousand miles away
Only connected by memories.
Did you forget
That you weren’t supposed to be beaten
By anyone except me?
So why is it
That someone sits beside you
On your right
Ahead of you
Who is not me?
It was an unspoken promise
Between you and I
But you broke it
Changing me
To the point that I find
My former self disappearing
Like a moon
That has lost its light
So I suppose you were my sun
That made me shine brightly
On the darkest of nights.
So I leave you with three words
I miss you,
To the Sun who made my heart
Beat faster
And taught me
The meaning of the word
‘Love’
