Do You Miss Me?

By

Do you miss me?
like you miss an old pair of jeans
the one you still keep nonetheless
once a favorite
now a misfit.

Do you miss me?
like you miss the thread on your wrist
incomplete without it
a part of your being
essential.

Do you miss me?
like you miss that one odd shirt
the one you no longer wear
tucked away somewhere
forgotten.

Do you miss me?
how much?
a little
a lot
or not at all.
