To my certain someone,

Gege, I miss you so much. The days feel so long and empty without you here. I find myself wishing you’d just walk through the door and tell me everything is going to be okay.

Sometimes, it feels like I’m holding my breath, waiting for something that will never happen. 

I know we’re apart because we have to be, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less.

I miss your laugh, your smile, the way you’d always call me out when I was being silly.

I miss your voice and how it made everything feel safer.

I even miss the way you’d scold me for doing something dumb, like burning my tongue on hot milk!
