i miss your mess
I miss your mess,
Your kiss, your testiness,
The bliss, the stress,
Your wrists, your chest,
Your backpacks, your knicknacks
Amassed on my desk,
Your suitcase explosion,
Your dirty French press.
I did my best
Played Liszt to help you rest;
So picturesque
In your blue dress.
Alas, I didn’t pass your little test.
You’ll resume your quest.
And though I wish you success
I’ll always miss your mess.
