“In my whole life, no one has ever looked at me the way that you do. No one has ever, touched my face or brushed my hair out of my eyes like you do. And maybe this is really selfish but, it’s not just you I’m going to miss. It’s the way I feel when I’m with you that I’m going to miss even more.”

— Shelby Merrick, “Higher Ground”

I thought about you a lot today, and while you are not mine to think about, I still find myself missing you...though you were never mine to miss...
