On those days,
when you miss someone the most
,

as though your memories,
are sharp enough,
to slice through skin and bone
,

remember how they loved you.

Remember how they loved you,
and do that,
for yourself
.

In their name,
in their honour
.

Love yourself,
as they loved you
.

They would like that.

On those days when you miss someone the most,
love yourself harder.
