Missing Me

By Dr.Monis Rizwan

When I say I miss the times we’ve had,

It doesn’t mean that I miss —

The laughs we shared,

The tears we cried,

Those fake midnight fights,

Those countless, pointless escapades of our minds.

Our bond — and you — honestly take the second seat.

The thing I long for the most

Is the me that used to be around you,

The person that only you knew,

The way you made me feel —

Frank, genuine, modest yet bold,

Completely unapologetic me.

You showed me who I could be,

My secrets that were foreign to me.

Talking to you, I also had a conversation with myself.

Those days made me better than I used to be —

After all, without you,

That me, I know, would never be
