Never get burned by the same flame twice,
or search for remedies in arms
of the one who hurt you
in the first place.
But what if…
What if the hurt—
that makes you yearn for healing—
comes from the arms that put you back together
to begin with.
The one who filled an emptiness
he unconsciously created simply
by coming
into your world
and fitting, perfectly.
By becoming
the first man you miss
when he’s not with you.
Unlike every other man who left you
missing him
even while still there.
