Do You Miss Them or the Way You Felt Around Them?

When people leave, sometimes it’s the feeling we chase, not the person.

Did you love them,
 or did you just love how you felt when they looked at you?

Do you miss their voice,
 or do you miss having someone to call at midnight?

Was it really them you needed,
 or just someone who made you feel wanted?

Do you miss the person,
 or the moments that made you forget your pain?

Was it love,
 or was it the attention you were starving for?

Did they understand you,
 or did you just hope they would?

Did they see the real you,
 or only the parts you thought were lovable?

Are you still holding on to the person,
 or to the idea of what could’ve been?

Do you miss the memories,
 or are you scared you’ll never feel that alive again?

Was it comfort,
 or were you just afraid to be alone?

Did you fight for the relationship,
 or were you fighting not to feel abandoned?

Did they actually make you happy,
 or did you just tell yourself they did?

Would you take them back today,
 or do you miss them only when you’re lonely?
