i missed how we spent our free time
talking about almost anything under the sun.
i missed how you criticize
the latest guy i am going out with.
i missed how you make me sit on your lap
just to whisper you don’t like
how my boyfriend dress himself,
then push me gently while laughing.
i missed how you question
every little move i make
about love and life.
i missed how you tease me
on how i dance,
or how you question me about not having
mama’s talent when it comes to singing.
i missed how you talked about
dealing people in and out of work.
i missed the simple talk.
i missed the silent dinner.
i missed the written notes
on how much you love me
after we fight about certain things
you didn’t like.
i missed how you tell stories
on how you and mama got together,
missed how you mention mama
as if you want us to go back.
i missed how you proudly mention
my siblings and their accomplishments
to every people, whenever you were
given a chance.
if i had only one wish,
i wish i could spent another
silent dinner,
simple talk,
and to receive another
note saying you missed them too.
