If I were ten years old
I would run to my secret hideout
And just wait…
Wait until I stopped wanting to cry
Wait until my heart didn’t feel trampled inside
Wait until a new day started
Because you said sunlight is always kinder
Wait until my head didn’t spin
Wait for another chance to read your notes
Wait for a new game of Parcheesi to start
Wait for the chocolate to melt on our tongues
But mostly I would wait forever
Just to hear you call my name
One more time…
It has been 6 1/2 years since my mom died in her sleep… I still miss her today like it was yesterday and ache for her friendship.
