*how i miss you*

A sharp intake of breath as you see a man turn his head just so...

and the memories flood over you

making your heart race and

tears come to your eyes

tenderly

gently

you shake out the memories

letting them rest across your shoulders

warm, familiar

achingly sweet

and laying your head against them as you would a fur cape

breathing them

seeing them in the sweetest part of your heart

playing them out

then

collecting them, fitting them in and around and under

cushioning your heart against the hurting rough places

soothing as a balm.
