The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS June 20, 2026
Miss
Funny how such a small word can carry so much weight.
Miss.
A child misses home.
A traveler misses a familiar road.
A song misses a note.
And a heart misses someone it cannot hold.
Sometimes I miss people.
Sometimes I miss moments.
Sometimes I miss versions of myself that existed before life changed everything.
The woman who worried less.
The girl who thought grown-ups had all the answers.
The dreamer who believed time moved slowly.
But perhaps missing something is proof that it mattered.
Proof that it touched us deeply enough to leave an imprint.
So I no longer see missing someone as weakness.
It is love with nowhere to go for a while.
It is memory keeping a light on in the window.
And although some people are gone from our sight, they never truly leave the rooms they built inside our hearts.
We miss them.
And in a strange way, that is how they stay with us.
With love, coffee, poetry, and stardust,
