The other day I saw you.
You look so well.
I'm glad to see you smiling again.
I miss seeing that smile.
You used to look at me like that.

It's been so long since I have looked at you
with such longing.
It's been so long since I've missed you.
My heart was aching for you to come back to me,
but I know that we cannot be.
We've been there before.
We've grown apart.
We are not the same as we used to be.

I want to talk to you like we used to do.
I miss laying on the floor
and talking for hours.
I miss your kisses on my forehead.
I miss how our young hearts used to pound within our chests
when we held each other.

We may not be who we were.
We may be friendly with each other.
But we can never go back to the way things used to be.
I've realized that I'm in love who we used to be.
I think that's why my heart is hurting so bad.
