All of You
I miss.
all of you.
every piece
smile
sock. shoe. earing.
eyeliner.
and i miss running.
missing those days.
when everything got better.
when life
seemed sweeter.
when she and us. we'd
talk about the future.
and talk about the past.
and i miss
the oily paper bags and my extra large soda. Eating
together in the hot june.
in driveways.
While walking.
and we'd dance.
she'd dance.
we'd call things magic.
and she'd complain
make sense out of nonsense.
and i'd wrinkle my nose.
and keep quiet.
and we'd have traditions.
and i'd spend all my money.
always fries.
almost always.
ketchup packets and carnations.
cigarette smoke and ellen.
secrets and stories.
and i'd sing. and we'd plan.
we'd make music.
together.
she and i
and we and us.
and them.
and even though i'd roll my eyes.
i was grateful to you.
and her.
she and us.
we.
i miss then.
when things
weren't so hard.
when i
had time for things i loved
when things
i loved were close.
when we were close.
when everyday was a new adventure.
at least for me.
she and i
and her and me
and we.
We.
you and i. and them and us.
We.
All of you.
I miss all of you.
