This feeling of an empty space inside

This feeling of an empty space inside
my chest is real. The hollow left by you
when we did part still holds the tears we cried
 beside the memories we made. I knew
good-bye was hard. I knew that you I’d miss.
I know this is not love- too soon for that.
I want your hands, your arms, your thoughts, your kiss,
your laugh, your kindness, to have one more chat.
I want what could have been if we’d more time
together. More than that, I want you, Man,
to see yourself as I see you: a fine
and wonderful person, NEVER less than.
Love yourself first, that’s what I want for you,
also to soar like I know you can do.
