Do I Miss You?

Writing Challenge: May 3, 2018

Prompt: What is something you miss?

I don’t know if I miss you, or us, or how it was,

but I do know I miss how it could have been.

I miss the idea of us. I miss the dreams. I miss the fantasy.

I miss believing that after all we had been through,

We could work this out.

I miss hoping that history would count for something.

I miss imagining a future where we are together.

In the end, I suppose it wasn’t you I loved;

It was the idea of you, of us, of how it could be.

Now that’s its over, I don’t know if I miss you or the fantasy.
