“Still Awesome…”

Every morning you used to ask me how I was and every morning, I used to say “I’m awesome” Every day we talked, each minute, each second I’d tell you the highs and lows of my day then you used to tell me yours Every time you told me how pretty I was, I couldn’t help but smile then you smiled back Every time you and I fought I cried, you cried, we cried before we made up Everything we did, we did as one Gift silences to each other as if one Shut eyes to each other as if one Break each other’s heart as if one These mornings, you don’t ask me how I am and these mornings, I don’t say “I’m awesome” But if you're here by chance, I want you to know that I miss being asked how I’m doing and for all the times you couldn’t ask — I’m still doing awesome…
