Have we changed who you are?

Have we changed who you are?

“Are you coming?”
I asked you.
“No, of course not.”
It hurts us a lot.
We miss you.
We want you back.
We want to see you smile.
We want you to make US laugh!

Yes, we were wrong to make fun of you.
Yes, I was wrong to just stand there.
I’m too quiet.
I’m too weak.
I’m sorry, I couldn’t be strong for you.
Come back,
What are we to do?
Will you accept if we apologize?
Will you truly see it in our eyes?

We miss you.
But please, don’t tell us we’ve changed you.
