I missed you today...
I miss your long blonde hair,
I miss the way you would brush out the knots,
I miss the way you would choose how to wear it,
Today would have been a ponytail day.
I miss the way you would style your hair down on special days,
You looked radiant and feminine.
I miss your pert little breasts,
I know you didn't like them, you thought them small and saggy,
But they were perfect.
I miss your energy and enthusiasm,
I haven't forgotten your habit of falling asleep on the sofa,
But you juggled a life full of fun and purpose and I loved that about you.
I miss the way you drove to the places you went,
And the way you ate all the foods that you liked.
I miss everything about your ordinary life.
I looked for you today, forgetting that you weren't there.
I looked for you in the mirror.
And I cried.
The new girl in the mirror is strong and vulnerable and wise,
I love her fiercely.
But she's not you, and I missed you today.
