Missing Until It Hurts Poem by Allysyn Bryant

“Is it so bad to miss someone when I’m with someone else? ”
He asks himself this same question every night
Whenever he thinks of her…and their night in the moonlight
So he misses her smile. Her laugh. Just hearing her talk…
He thinks of her every thing the rain falls…
And how sweet their first kiss was…in the rain…
She’s sixteen. He’s nineteen. Illegal by 5 months. He misses her.
Sometimes, he admits, he pretends that his new girlfriend is her…
He closes his eyes and thinks back… he still misses her. He’s heartbroken.
Her special smell... The one only she has…
Her hand in his… Her soft kiss… The way she feels in his arms…
He misses her so much that it aches inside…
Which is the time he realizes he’s fallen in love with her…

Two young people once again in love… another Romeo and Juliet story.
Their families don’t agree… separated by thousand of miles… they hurt…
She misses him like crazy. He’s the same.
Don’t know if they can handle the distance.
So they split up… giving up hope… heartbroken…
The pain leads to their death.

She had a night of passion… with the man of all her fantasies
As much fun as she had… the next day she’s back to work, her daily routine.
He calls and calls. Sends her flowers with cards. Emails. Letters. Packages.
She never answers. Only when he stops does she start missing him….

A little girl she once was… watching her parents leave…
With nothing but her big brother left… them left alone with new people…
For the next seven years she begs and pleas… she misses her parents…
Every night she cries herself to sleep… until at last they came…
But not for her…
Her missing them lead to hurting because of them,
Hurting by them lead to seeing the truth,
By seeing the truth she starts to hate them,
Hating them then only lead to missing who they use to be.

Off and on for two years straight…
He took advantage of her… until she was finally fed up and left
Thirty minutes after that, he misses her…
He’s lost without her.
For six long months he drags on,
Day to day, he doesn’t even know what going on anymore…
He’s hurting, heartbroken, missing her,
And unable to fill the hole that she left behind in him.
