I Want It Back - by Me

I want it back.

I want it back to normal. 

I want the good mornings and the goodnights. 

I want the ‘how are youuu?’ that actually waited for an answer. 

I want the ‘I miss you xx’ that didn’t need a reason.

I want your hand finding mine like when we were on the ferry. 

I want the hugs that said more than words. 

I want the looks that we gave each other across the crowded coach. 

I want to play bingo, the small thrill of beating you (again). 

I want to sit on the beach just enjoying your presence. 

I want the little things, the ordinary things that didn’t seem important until they were gone. 

I want it all, and I want it with you.

It can still be something. 

We can still be something. 

Something better. 

Something deeper. 

Something that we haven’t had the chance to discover yet. 

I don’t understand it all yet. 

All I understand is that I don’t want to give up. 

All I understand is that I want it back.

Context: This is the first poem that I’ve ever written (that hasn’t been for school, that was years ago anyways). I was recently broken up with and this is for her. I’ve tried to make it specific to our relationship.
