john the baptist

I never thought I would miss you as much as I do now.
The house is cleaner since you left.
I finished cleaning the last dirty cup that you left behind just this afternoon.
and I don't get elbowed in the night.
I have the whole bed.
I'm spending more time with my cats.
and I'm doing what I want when I want.
but my bed is colder.
and maybe my heart is too.
but that's a stupid thing to say.
