I miss the you I once knew

the one that would wrap me up in warm hugs

make me laugh till I cried

made me feel as if I could take on the wold

the you I once knew made me feel invincible like no one else could

now we have a different relationship,

we have different beliefs

but dad, I miss the you that you used to be

the less stressed out one

the less worried one

the one who was care free

maybe the you I knew back then was wrong

maybe I was too young to see your worries

but dad I miss you

and I miss me

the me that I was and the you that you were

but we are older now and we have a better relationship

I can come to you with anything

I do come to you with everything

even though we are in a better place now I still miss you and I miss me.

I miss the people we were

carefree and happy.

But I still love the us now.
