I Miss The Idea Of You

July 31, 2026

I miss the idea of you I miss the good morning texts I miss the good night texts I miss having someone wait for me to reply I miss being kissed I miss being wanted I miss having a person to talk to I miss that kinda hug I miss having someone count on me I miss hour long phone calls I miss the way I smiled I miss always having someone there for me But I don't miss you I miss the idea of you
