Every time I feel the warm hand of a child's in mine,

I am reminded of how much

I miss

my childhood. 

 

Every time I hear a child cry,

I remember every single

scraped knee, crashed bike, 

and busted lip. 

 

Whenever I hear a child laughing,

I think back

to when

my smiles weren't faked.

 

And when I hold my siblings close,

I am reminded of just

how it felt to be folded

into a loving adults arms.

 

Playing with friends till

dark on school nights,

making stupid

jokes in class.

 

I miss everything

bout my childhood,

and I wish I could have

made it last.

Just was sitting on my bed, over thinking per usual, and started writing down my thoughts. Out of it, came this.
