The things we miss

[daughter]

I asked Camille about her team's poem and how they chose to described loss. They're approach is interesting and on point. It got me to thinking of how I feel when my lover isn't with me, the things I associate with him.

Question, what things remind you of your lover or past lovers? What do you remember about them?

Peace,

daughter

Years ago I dated a DJ. We had this dangerous unhealthy relationship that was wild. Over the years I have learned to let go of all the bad feelings ... And silly as it may sound ... everytime I hear "Something" by the Beatles I get this funny tickle inside and all the happy memories come flooding back to me.

the way everything else faded

I can recall being in a very, very crowded place and being so entranced, so focused that nothing else mattered. In one instance, it was the night which for all intents and purposes marked the beginning of a new love, even though we had spoken some before... but I miss the intensity, daughter, I miss the way everything else slipped away and all I was aware of was her.

I miss myself.

I lost myself somewhere between going through the motions and doing what I thought I should be doing, what I thought other people thought I should be doing. I've missed myself for the past 6 years.

I'm not missing myself anymore, I'm being.
