Things I miss so much, it makes my heart hurt:

--all of my extended family
--redwood trees
--stars
--nonstop laughing
--ice cream shops
--bonfires
--big-toothed smiles
--late-night, bed-side chats
--lazy days
--spontaneous hugs
--holding hands
--hikes in the dark
--being serenaded
--not being able to get the smell of campfire out of my hair
--famous milkshakes
--swinging at night
--sleeping outside on a warm, summer's night
--card games
--the feeling you get when your closest friends know your secrets and still love you for being you
--reading all day
--basking in the sun...on the beach...in greece
--gigantic salads with everything in them
--ninjas
--friendship bracelets
--abandoned orchards
--fresh blackberries
--going off-roading in golf carts
--watching the sunset
--sing-alongs
--the beach
--being in love
--nature
--poetry played out in real life
--being so happy i could burst
