Now I Just Miss You


I was bitter when you got sick.

I was mad when you didn't say goodbye.

I was upset you took my summer away.

Now I want it all back.

What will I do on my birthday?

I will wait for a cake with my name spelt wrong that won't come.

 

I want the way you hugged me.

The way you said I was your baby.

I want your love and affection.

I want long summer nights watching random shows back.

I want your crazy comments and crazy hair back.

 

I miss you.

I miss you yelling at the dog to stop getting an attitude with you.

I miss your potato soup on cold nights and pizza when you were to lazy to cook.

 

I used to be mad.

I used to be mad I could no longer ride down the staircase on a baby mattress.

I used to be mad when you wouldn't let me have just one more coke.

I used to be mad when you got older and couldn't play as well.

 

I'm mad that I didn't cherish all the memories I could have made.

I'm mad that I couldn't be there for you.

I'm mad that I slept through the summer instead of hanging out with you.

 

I used to be bitter when you got sick.

I used to be mad when you didn't say goodbye.

I used to be upset I had to spend my whole summer at your house.

Now I just miss you.
