It's a glorious gone

i miss everyone i miss the old house and the kitchen table that was old and outdated and perfect and i miss the driveway and the cars in the driveway and i miss the sound of the garage opening and i miss the park at the end of the street and i miss stopping the ice cream truck and i miss the neighbors i used to play with and i miss feeding the squirrels outside and i miss being soft and i miss being looked at it and i miss wanting to be looked at and i miss the pancake place and the 24 hour diner and i miss having a million nicknames for the million people around me and i miss saturdays at 11 am and i am going to crawl into bed tonight and i’m going to close my eyes and for 20 minutes i will live in that old house and that will be the gift i give myself today and when i open my eyes for a moment it will be with my eight year old eyes and i can start all over right from the beginning
