They say the little things matter
And I thought I had understood.
But I miss all the little things
You did that made me feel so good.
You would always cradle my head
When I cried over some dumb boy.
You always used to laugh with me,
Your laugher always brought me joy.
I miss the shopping trips we'd take
When you found a day off from work.
I miss the way you would love me
Even with all my little quirks.
I picture you so well in thought,
I miss your eyes, your smell, your hair.
I wish everyday to see you
I miss how you were always there.
The worst part is you didn't die,
You up and left me here by choice.
You're the only reason you're gone
I almost never hear your voice.
Mother, I miss you so much it hurts
Sometimes I just break down and cry
I want to be held in your arms
And never again tell you goodbye.
I promise that I love you always,
My eyes are tired of streaming water
I just wish that you could come home to me.
Love forever and always, Your Daughter
Author notes
I've been debating whether or not to write about my mom for a while. My mom left the day after my graduation and it's been weird not having her around as much. I miss my mother so much, she was my best friend. I don't know if you want to use it because it's not the same kind of lost but I hope that you like it. Thanks for hosting the contest.

a loss is a loss in any way, it doesn't matter if it is by choice or not. I loved this, I hope she returns to you someday, thanks for sharing a piece of yourself. Best to you in the contest
