i miss the way we used to garden. when all of our worries were the weeds and fallen petals. i miss the way you used to speak french. so soft, and perfect. it excited me to learn all you knew. i miss the way you watched antique shows every morning, and i'd watch them with you even though they bored me. i miss the way you read your penguin books as i lay next to you on days when i was sick. i miss the way you used to talk. i miss the way you used to know me.
