“I miss…” – Jenna Siuta

“I miss him”

What do you miss?

The flowers he never bought you?

The dates he never took you on?

The attention he never gave you?

The constant lies?

What do you miss?

I don’t miss anything

I am finally feeling loved

Loved by me

Someone who will always put in 110% just for myself

He never put in the effort

He gave up right away

Why would you miss that?

Why would I miss that?

Mom said:

“You have to love yourself before anyone else can love you”

I’m afraid that will never happen

What if it doesn’t happen

What if I never love myself

Thus no one loves me?

Why does it have to work that way

I don’t think it should.

I will learn to love me,

But in the meantime…

I want someone else to love me.
