I Miss You Way Too Much Poem by Melissa Joy Chesky

I Miss You Way Too Much



It’s hard to hear
the clock tick on
and to not hear your voice.
I’m so accustomed to it,
this is the worst thing I’ve endured.
It’s hard to not have a phone,
nonetheless not talking to you
throughout my otherwise pointless day.

Did you know that you made
my every day?
Just by saying the littlest things
you made me gleam in happiness.
Did you know that you made
my every hour?
Just by saying the littlest things
you pulled me out of my personal hell.
Didn’t you know?

Did you know that I love it
when you say my name?
Even when your voice
is jittery and riddled with worry
it always sounds like an angel breathed it
in my longing ear.

I know when I was out of it,
but I also associate that with you holding my hand;
did you know that you made me so happy?
Did you know I meant it when I said,
“I feel so comfortable around you”?

Did you know that I wanted to tell you
how great you smelled?
My sheets still have your essence –
Did you know that I was
trying to bring back your voice,
your presence,
by smelling your quickly fading scent?

Did you know that I never felt
any of these?
Never felt comfortable with a guy.
Never ever.
But you, God, I could say anything to you.

Did you know that no one has
treated me like you do?
I was pleasantly taken aback
every single time you replied to my messages.
But you, you haven’t failed me yet.

Did you know that the only thing
I really want to think about is you?
How can I not think of you?
When the morning comes I know
if I had my phone, you’d be the first
to make me smile with “good morning”.
When the night settles I know
you’ll be the last to talk to me,
the last to lull me to sleep with “goodnight”.

Honestly, I can’t lie about this.
I meant it, wholeheartedly,
When I said,
“Only for Cody, I’m only for Cody.”

I don’t want to be wrong about you,
No, I don’t want that at all.

But mostly, what I wanted to say most was, “I miss you way too much.”
