Missing You
Can you take me back
I miss you
I miss you a lot more than I want to admit
I miss the way you held me
I miss the way we would giggle in the halls
I miss our jokes
I miss us
I miss when we would talk about how good friends we were
I miss when you would be so kind to me and care for me
I miss our Starbucks runs
I miss telling my dad how good friends we were
He still asks about you by the way
He wonders what happened in those few weeks
I wonder too
I lost my friendship bracelet
I look for it every day hoping for it to appear
I watch you wear yours
You’re so pretty when you smile
I hope you will make me another one
I would wear it for eternity
As a sign we were friends
As a sign that we existed
As a sign you once loved me
As an explanation to our loose ends
As a reason to take you back
I dreamt of you last night by the way
You were
Pretty, yes
But kind too
You accepted me into your arms
At eye contact you knew
I started crying when we hugged
I woke up
Alone
Missing you
