The Time You Left
The Time You Left
By Yessica Lopez
Hello
I miss how you used to play all the soccer games with us.
I miss when we used to laugh together.
I miss you so much I love you I want you get out of there and come with us,
with our family.
I don’t want you to be in there while my family is out here.
I want my family normal like it was before you went jail,
for something you didn’t do.
