When You Were Around

I liked it when you kissed my face

I was laughing and trying to hide it from you

Now I wish I never hid my face

And let you keep on kissing me

I liked it when you kissed my tummy

You said that in 7 years there will be a child there

And I will name him after you

I said I won’t

Although I probably will

I liked it when you didn’t put powder on your hair

Because I didn’t like the feeling of it on my fingers

Now I wish I could touch your hair once again

Even with more powder on it

I liked it when you made me listen to all the songs

And you knew the lyrics of them all

Now I know the lyrics too

And I wish I could sing together with you

I liked it how you always laughed at yourself

It made me happy

Now when I imagine you laughing

It makes me cry

I liked it how we’d always stay up late talking

And when you had to leave early in the morning

And when you left the last time I saw you

I wish I told you how I never want you to go

I wish you stayed

I liked it how different you were

You were so different from everyone I’ve ever met

You were so real

It’s funny how easily people come to our lives

And how easily they leave
