Softie

I miss the idea of you.
I miss the almost, the
eager chats about the classics and the
latest of our shared interests, the
Hey, I thought of you, the
little check-ins and follow throughs, the
smile on your face the first time, then
every time, a moment of gentle, a
peak behind the mask.
Softie.
I miss good morning.
