"Missing You"

i miss the walks.
the morning coffee. the songs.

i miss them. the nicknames.
the secrets.

i miss the way he would look at me.
if only he were here.

i miss the friends. i miss the dad so far away.
i miss missing him. i miss the mother i used to know.
and the snow at christmas time.

i miss the family i used to be with always,
the friend who was always there.
i miss the only love i've ever known
when they're so far away.

i miss the memories that I thought would keep
me alive forever. i guess they won't.
i miss the simplicity. the freedom. the guessing. the moments.

i miss the yelling. the catch.
i miss the beach and all that comes with it.

i miss the singing and the ice cream man.
the playground games and the afternoons of doing nothing.

i miss time standing still. i miss the ideas of youth.
the days when it rained non stop yet we were still brave
enough to go out into it by choice.

i miss the simple crushes that had no reprecutions.
the days when i thought family would always be the same.

i miss knowing what would happen. i miss the mystery.

but then again, we all miss what we can't have again.
we miss what we get used to, and then it's gone.

i miss everything you do. everything we do.
so let's walk on and miss them all together.

we'll gain the strength we need to move on.
