i miss you

I miss you
I miss the way your hands would ruffle the back of your hair
and it looked awful but you hadn't stopped since you were twelve
and every time I tried to make you stop I just laughed

I miss the way your glasses hung a little crooked
how you always looked at me sideways when you thought I wouldn't notice
how could you ever think I didn't notice every thing about you

I miss the way your jacket was always a little rumpled
how you shoved your fists into your pockets in the cold
how you ran your thumb over your lower lip when you thought hard

I miss being able to look at you when that smile creased your face
I miss walking into your arms and how perfectly our bodies fit together
I miss your voice and your eyes that held a whole universe that I'd only skimmed the surface of

I thought I would still be gazing into them now
still searching
still discovering
still learning
all that there was to know of you

I thought we had time
I thought we had each other
and that was it

I miss you
and I want to see you again
without the knot in my throat and the searing pain in my chest and the weight of the world on my shoulders

I don't know what I'm supposed to do
without seeing you
one
last
time

please
don't be gone

    2. Grace Anne and I have the same reaction to this post. Just saying :p and I agree with Vanessa, too - this makes me miss the person fictional you is missing. If that makes sense. HEARTS TO YOU, basically, for being a rockstar.

  4. Well that was an onslaught of feels only slightly buffered by that disclaimer that was obviously there for me because I was beginning to freak out.

    This was beautiful, Olivia. Your (AMAZING) writing never ceases to strike something in me. It's just so beautiful and soul-touching and oh please Olivia never stop writing!

  18. i was about to freak out so thank you for the disclaimer. x)

    my eyes were stinging through this one. Olivia Knight, you are gifted by God to write, and I hope when the quiet nights come and if doubt ever dares to whisper in your ears, you remember that so dang hard, you shooting star.

    i'm honestly about to go back to the beginning and read it again.

  19. This is beautiful and heartbreaking, I am in love with your writing. Gahhh I can't believe you can write such things when you haven't even experienced it (which I'm glad you haven't or else I might be sobbing). you have amazing talent and just, ah! So good.
