What I miss



It’s the little things, that I miss,
The way you said my name,
To an unexpected kiss.

The way you said I love you; 1,000 times a day,
Or when I’d get up set; you said it’d  be okay

The way that you would tell me;
“ I’M YOUR ONLY GIRL “and I miss you always saying “ IT’S US AGAINST THE WORLD

I miss you saying good morning,
I miss you saying good night,
Cause after you said that,
You would hold me tight.

I guess it’s not just little things,
It’s the big things too; anyone can try,
But would NEVER add up to you.

And the way you made me smile;
You did it every day;
I just wanted you to know,
My heart is where you'll stay.
