"Do you ever miss yourself?
Not the type of miss when you haven't heard your own voice in a while
Or seen how yourself in the mirror
Not if you've changed your hair colour
Like really miss yourself
Who you were before your first heartbreak
Before your first fake friend
Before your first red lines
Do you ever miss the way your eyes used to glow with happiness
But now they're just glossy with tears
Or how you used to have a pep in your step
Now you just walk with no purpose
If you don't miss yourself like this , I envy you
Because you have not lost yourself yet
And that's rare in a world of lost souls."
