I miss you

i miss you. 
i miss you a lot. 
beacuse i liked you, 
i still like you a lot. 
i miss the days when the sky was bluer, 
the birds were louder, 
and my world was smaller. 

when words didn't have multiple meanings, 
when none of us could feel multiple feelings. 
when the sun on the grass was so bright, 
when the weight on the shoulders was so light. 

no one really cared about being right, 
and no one cared if you weren't white. 
when we went to bed early in the night, 
and nobody of nobody wanted to fight. 

when people smiled wider and people laughed harder, 
when parents were happy and families together. 
whent he boogie man scared us and we hid under the covers, 
when we'd sit on the bus and joke about others. 

i wonder who remembers those days, 
and who forgets. 
i wonder who smiles about them, 
and who regrets. 

sometimes i look for the people i kenw then, 
and i wonder... 
where did they go?
