I miss you.
You not being one person, but being everyone.
I knew I'd miss you,
but I didn't know to what extent
and I didn't know it would be like this.
All the stupid little things that annoyed me about you are gone,
and it's almost like I see you in a new light.
To be honest
the stupid little things that I thought annoyed me where in fact just that,
stupid little things.
Because when it came down to it you just loved me,
right?
You just wanted the best for me.
And at the time I may not have known that,
but now I do.
I wish I could go back and tell you I'm sorry.
Sorry for getting mad at you and sorry for pushing you away.
I see how stupid that was now,
and I feel even more stupid knowing I'll probably do it again.
Sometimes I learn from my mistakes, and sometimes I don't.
I'm only human.
But what I have learnt is to appreciate everyone you have in your life.
Cherish the moments you have with them
because when it comes down to it,
it's those moments that make you, you.
The time we spent together should have been long enough,
but it just wasn't.
It's almost like all of those months and years boiled down to one day.
One day of memories,
one day together.
And now these few months away have turned into an eternity.
It's true what people say
you don't know what you have until it's gone.
But for me it's different,
because I didn't know how much I appreciated you and cared about you
until I was gone.
But I'm not gone forever,
and you're still there,
still perfect in your own way.
And I guess that puts a little light on the whole situation
because I know I'll see you again.
I don't know when and I don't know how,
but I know I will.
So for now I just have to appreciate the little time I had with you,
and thank you.
Thank you for your love and care,
and thank you for just being there.
It's hard to show my appreciation when I'm so far away,
but I just want you to know that I love you.
I love every single one of you.
