i miss you amanda,
i wish we still lived five houses away and i wish we still raked leaves together and had bike races. i wish we could still have last minute sleepovers that we had to plan by seven, and birthday parties in your basement.i wish i still hated boys. i wish i still had to go to your house in the morning because my mom left early and i was scared of missing the bus. i wish we still sang the name game wrong and random spice girls. i wish we still had pool parties and swept the dirt under the tree in your backyard and played house. i wish we still pretended we were tarzans swinging from your treehouse rope. i wish we still sledded down the stairs in my backyard and pushed eachother around in red wagons. and made snowforts with cupholders. i wish we still had pink bike helmets that we would never forget to wear. i wish we still watched gargoles and arthur. i wish your mom still made us eat snacks at the table. i wish we still drew inside the lines in coloringbooks. <33333 i wish we were still so dang halarious. wish we still couldnt go around the corner of our block because that was too far away. i wish we still hid from your little sister who always wanted to play with us. i wish we still played barbies with her and said we didnt want to when we so did. i wish we still could be entertained all afternoon by blowing bubbles at eachother and trying to work those twister things wish i could never get to fly for me.i miss believeing in cooties.i wish we still made sand castles and had imagineations too big for us. i wish we still had water fights and snow fights and leaf fights and other fights about anything. i wish i still told you everyday that i hated you and that you werent invited to my birthday party, my wedding OR to my house the next day because you took the red car i wanted. i wish we still didnt even have to apologize when we had fights because we knew we still loved eachother and that you totally were invited to my house the next day. i wish we still thought our big sisters were cool.. i miss you teaching me how to do a sommersault down rundle hill. i miss playing cops and robbers on bikes. i wish we still cleaned our backyards before we went home. i wish we still counted the sidewalk blocks between eachothers houses and had sleepovers in ugly brown sleepingbags and eachothers pajamas. i wish we still had lightupshoes and no homework. i wish we still always tried to play sherades but never understood the rules. i wish i still had a cubbyhole with nails in the roof to hit my head on and with christams lights we had to twist on. and that we still made forts in it all the time and tried to make the entire thing a fort and pretended we werent in there when your sisters were sent over to get you for supper. i wish we still had mittens on strings and blow-up beachballs.

uhhh!!!! I MISS OUR SWEET LIFE WE HAD GOING ON BABE.
