I miss how you say my name. It sounds sweet— like honey I never used to like my name, but it was different coming from you. Our names together sounded so sweet, so pure. I miss how you’d say my name as I jotted all my thoughts down just to get my attention, or how you’d say it after one of my many corny jokes, or when you were mad— even then, it still sounded soft. I don’t think I ever thought there’d be a day you wouldn’t say my name. I guess I thought wrong. And oh— I would give anything to hear you say my name again. Because when you said it, it wasn’t just a word. It was the spirit, the love, the peace that came with it.

Say My Name
I miss how you say my name. It sounds sweet— like honey I never used to like my name, but it was different coming from you. Our names together sounded so sweet, so pure. I miss how you’d say my name as I jotted all my thoughts down just to get my attention, or how you’d say it after one of my many corny jokes, or when you were mad— even then, it still sounded soft. I don’t think I ever thought there’d be a day you wouldn’t say my name. I guess I thought wrong. And oh— I would give anything to hear you say my name again. Because when you said it, it wasn’t just a word. It was the spirit, the love, the peace that came with it.
This is about the pain of missing something so simple as the person they love saying their name
