Her Arms...Your Resting Place

You miss her
Every second of every day

Not a day passes
That you don't think about her

Not a night passes
That you don't dream about her

The people that tell you to move on
Clearly have never experienced a love like this

Or have numbed themselves to the pain
By forgetting what happened

They don't know what it's like
To miss someone this much

To miss someone
With every fiber of your being

To miss every good, bad, uplifting, spirit breaking
Broken yet perfect part of them

You'll never claim that she's perfect
But you'll always claim that she's perfect for you

You fit perfectly together
Literally and figuratively

That must be why
You miss her most at night

Because that was when
You felt closest to her

You told her that
The night you put that ring on her finger

Nights were a positive end
To every day, no matter the circumstances

Because every night
You let your soul rest in her arms

You miss those arms
You miss that safe place

Peace like that is hard,
If not impossible, to come by

So how can you be expected to find peace,
To find joy, elsewhere?

And why would you even want to?
