It’s 2025 now but I wish it wasn’t

I miss last year not the end but the middle when everything was good and in place

I miss happiness and laughter on the first day of 7 th grade

I miss the war between my group and the boys for “the best table” during lunch

I miss the friendships that I lost I want them back most of all

I miss having less drama

I miss having easy classes

I miss having no anxiety

I miss the teachers who taught me how to live life to the fullest

I miss the dreams I once had that have flown away over time

I miss being excited for snow and going to the mall on are days off

I miss the time we all cared about each other and would do anything for them

I miss the hours we spent on call for no reason

I miss the hangouts and sleepovers we had

I miss when I could make friends so easily

But when that ball dropped and the clock hit twelve I knew all these memories were behind me and I had to grow up and make new ones
