All the little things

All the little things

Add up

Matter

A lot to me

Everything

We met you

For the first time in years

You

All three of you

Are in college

Have lives

Away from us

I want to be a part of it

I got to re-meet you, I guess

We hugged

All the little things

Became something I am going to rely on

People I love

People I feel comfortable with

Big cousins I trust to protect me

Always

Whenever they can;

Handing me your phone

Telling me to play whatever music I wanted

Because you knew I had to go to bed soon

Putting you arm around me

For a photo

Grabbing the photographer

After he'd walked away

For "cousin photos!"

Kneeling in front of me

So I could bunny-ear you

Because you're too tall otherwise

Wearing my annoying

Itchy

Pink frilly hat

Pulling me in for another picture

Laughing

Joking

Offering to dance with me

Being silly

Teasing me

Sweaty-hugging me

When it was time to go

A brief visit

One I will remember

I care about all three of you

So much

I hope I'm not just a little kid to you

I can see in your eyes that you love me

That means a lot

From amazing people

You are amazing

I want to call you

More

Talk

More

I think you could

Help me out

When I'm scared to ask for it

I think

This is something I was missing

I think

I miss you already.

  • Some days

    Some days I look through my folder

    Flip through my books

    Scroll through PDFs

    And I just don't want to

    Just don't feel like it

    Just not in the mood

    And suddenly I am terrified

    Terrified

  • Who am I?

    Sometimes I think

    Of what my life would be without this

    Without the conductor who changed my life

    Without my duet partner who taught me how to perform

    Without my instrument

    Without the music

  • This summer

    I should be being

    A teenager

    Walking around

    Biking the village with friends

    Creemees

    Candy

    Joking

    Laughing

    Teasing

    Farmers markets

    Confessions

    Crushes

    Running around
