I miss the days I thought were bad
But looking back
I'd give everything to go back
To relive it
To just be there again
Even if only for a moment
Just so I can take a deep breath
And remember what it was like
And compare it to now
And appreciate how good I had it
When my only problem
Was making sure I got on the right bus at the mall
Not
What's life going to be like
Now that my oldest brother is dead
Now that I'm not going to see him every day
And I'll never hear his voice
And he'll never tease his youngest sibling again
I hated it then
But holy shit
How I wish to experience that again
Even if only for a second
