Dear Street Spirits

I don't even know how I'm supposed to start this
You're not even gone
But it's going to sound like you are
With what I'm about to say

I haven't seen you in a while
I think it's been two years
Or something
But
I still remember
When we used to be
In each other's company
And feel alright from time to time

I've been well
I guess
Every day blurs into the next
And my chest aches
Don't know why
But it does that a lot now

I miss you so much

I remember the things you told me
Way back when
To keep my head up
Don't be afraid to change the world
Point out the pain
So it makes it easier to deal with

I remember how we laughed together
And cried together
And held each other close

And I really do miss it
I miss us

You're probably wondering
Why now
Why today
That I come forward with this

And to be honest
I don't even know
It's just one of those days
Thursdays
And my brain is just telling me
That I should talk to you
See how you're doing

I really miss you

Maybe
Once life decides to chill out
Mellow
Maybe
We can see each other again

I can't wait for that day
To arrive

Until then
Be safe
Be well
And peace
