Leighann Summers
Do you ever look back and wonder what happened?
I do.
I miss you.
I miss the way you laughed.
I miss the way you grinned.
I miss the way you always got so excited when you winned.
All that’s over now.
I have to face it, you have changed.
Not even your smile has remained the same.
I get sad looking back at what we used to have.
All that excitement and joy that got taken away by a careless boy.
Do you ever try to pinpoint the day?
I do.
I miss you.
I remember the crisp breeze.
I remember the vanilla ice cream
I remember the autumn leaves blown two and fro in the streets.
All those fleeting moments, gone forever.
I have to move forward, you are gone.
Sometimes, I cannot even remember your name.
I suffer from a fading memory, one where you and I were once the same.
Sometimes, I look back and think about what happened.
That dreadful accident.
It took away my mobility, and half my brain, but
It did not take away my pain.
Do you ever look back and wonder what happened?
I do.
I miss you.
