I miss the smell of popcorn
wafting in when you enter a theater
the excitement of the unexpected
drawing us in nearer
I miss those moments in the hallway
catching up with a friend or two
the sudden rush of elation
as you talk about what’s new
I miss that cafe next to the metro
I miss getting dressed for concerts
I miss those theme park rollercoasters
and I even miss those “snow day” alerts
Most of all I miss knowing
at least to some degree
what’s in store for my future
the life ahead of me
