Missing You

Shaleigh Meiners 1991 (United States)



I miss the way you used to smile,
And the way you looked at me.
How you used to be so humble,
How you made me feel so free.

I miss the long nights,
I miss the summer days.
I miss the tingling feeling,
That crept across my skin from the sun rays.

I miss the happiness you brought me,
The joy of every little thing.
I miss the way it used to feel,
Knowing, no two days would ever be the same.

Out of all the things I miss,
The thing that I will never again be...
Is that your beautiful self...
Is really, the younger me.
