a girl on a bench

i ache for you
in every inch of me
i never thought
that i would ache again
for another soul
like i once had
i didn’t want to
the thought alone
was exhausting
wasteful
but here i am
a heaped mess
scattered across the bed
wishing the miles
did not separate us
but now
i am comforted
in my aches for you
as yearning for you
feels like home.
