"and the truth is that i miss you"

Warning Sign (acoustic) - Coldplay

As I listened to Chris Martin's sexy voice on the drive home, I realized that I miss a lot of things.

I miss the tennis court, playing tag, recess, coming home at 3:30 pm and being able to watch Oprah at 4. I miss waking up early enough to watch Clueless, then Sabrina the Teenage Witch, then Dawson's Creek. I miss camping and summers when everyone was free everyday. I miss lunch time with friends, break with friends, homework with friends. I miss sleepovers and phone calls from concerned parents at 9:00 pm. I miss shark attack. I miss family nights of bingo and being bored in my cousin's room. I miss my cousin. I kinda miss getting picked up and dropped off by my dad. Goodness, I could go on, and on.

After that realization, I came to another realization: all the things I miss are things of my childhood. We're growing up. Things are changing, man! But then again, things are constantly changing. People come and go, you'll get hurt, you'll get better, you'll get into an argument, make up, break up, apologize, get better, whatever. You always want to go back to that time, way back when "things were easy". But things were never easy. It just seems like it was when you look back on it because you got through it. I know when I'm 70, deaf, and have a house full of cats, I'll think about this moment and say, "Back when I was firm and nimble, things were so easy..."

And it'll be because I got through it. I'll be fine. I guess I just kinda miss you, just a little bit and hopefully just for now.
