sometimes
    i see you out of the corner of my eye,
        an afterimage, burnt into my mind
sometimes
    i hear your voice,
        or rather, what i think it would sound like
sometimes
    i feel you at the back of my mind,
        a constant gentle thrum: reassuring and stable
sometimes
    i feel your absence,
        because the gaping hole in my heart is hard to ignore
sometimes
    i dream of you
        i dream of days we spent together-
    -days we will spend together

and, sometimes
    i wish i didn’t have to wake up
