What I Miss ...

I miss the good days ...
I miss the times that never lasted long enough ...
Miss the people that never let me down ...
Miss being able to go out and look like a somebody ...
Miss taking a chance and risking a bit for a lot ...
Miss feeling like there's nothing better for me to do ...
Having a place to go when there's nothing to do ...
Just showing up at a friends house and being welcomed ...
Seeing kids playing outside in the water on hot days ...
Watching kids getting muddy and wet on raining days ...
Snowball fights, angels, igloos, and watching snowflakes in full grace ...
Listening to the rain batter the roof, streets, trees, and my face ...

I miss the waves crashing on the shores ...
The smell of flowers ...
The sound of breakfast in the morning ...
Running up to a friend and just giving them a hug ...
Sharing a day with good rounds of people ...
Having a night out on the town ...
Dancing like nobody's watching ...
Going for a run for no reason at all ...
Taking a drive to get away and appreciate all that's around me ...
Having my best friend run up and jump in my arms ...
Sitting and talking and crying with another in pain and comfort ...
Being called on because they know I will be there ...
Knowing I'm worth something ...

I miss being free ...
I miss being independent ...
I miss being ... MYSELF.
