i'm starting to feel
like just maybe
you're no longer
deserving
of all the ways
that i dream up
to make you feel
immensely special
all the time
you most certainly
deserve
to be made
to feel
that way
every moment
of every day
but maybe
someone else
should
make it happen
because i'm still
dreaming up
new and inventive ways
to make you feel
insanely special
only you're not around
to accept them
i miss your
expressions
of surprise
and genuine
appreciation
my day
is so much emptier
when i can't
make you feel
satiably special
in my own kind of way
