i miss those days when it felt like it was the three of us against the world,
when our endless mirth would carry us
from the early morning, deep into the pale glow of the moonlight.
the moments in between the laughter,
where our smiles twinkled into the homely silence.
you smothered us with warmth when we were sad,
telling us to let it all out like a dam about to burst;
yet, your smile never faltered.
you instilled us with a sense of confidence
that we never thought possible.
somehow, you helped us fly higher and higher,
you seemed to creep into our life just as easily as you crept out,
you never even said goodbye.
i knew it was too good to be true.
