I didn't know I'd miss,
Getting up early to go to school.
Miss doing work in class,
Even the boring classes.
I didn't think I'd miss,
Getting in trouble,
Waiting in line for a chicken roll,
Even being close enough to hear a breath.
I knew I'd miss,
My best friend,
But I didn't know I'd miss her annoying me,
Even getting me in trouble for talking.
I wish everything was normal,
Everyone could hug and kiss again,
Go places without a mask,
Not worry.
