Whispers and Echoes

I miss…

… summer days, bikes rides, walking to the park

… board games, writing your name, stop and go along the way

… dance parties, belly laughs, a smile that filled my heart

I miss the time we spent  ̶  laughing and talking and playing

speaking in our own language, for only us to understand

I miss memories I cherish and hold, and those I have forgotten

it’s hard when people grow apart

it was hard turning away from you

I hope the sun still makes you laugh the way it used to do.
