Hey You!

Yes you…

Remember me?  I didn’t think so…  well I remember you and I miss you.  I am wondering what happened to you?  Last week you fired Joe and told him not to take it personally it’s just business.  What is your deal?  That is personal!  He has 4 kids and a wife that is pregnant, Joe was the hardest working guy on the team, but your boss’s lazy son couldn’t be the one to go that might cause to much conflict.

Where did you go?  You are not like I remember!  Yesterday as you were walking to your car you saw a ball, red, round and asking for you to kick it, you wanted to kick it… but you didn’t.  The you I remember, would have ran up and kicked the ball so hard…  Not you (the new you)!  You in your 3 piece suit, so damn serious all the time.

Why don’t you smile anymore?  Did you forget how?  Did you forget that even a little smile can brighten a day?

When did you forget that the world is your playground and so much is at your hands to experience.

I used to know you!  The you who would asked why all the time…  Now you take it as is.  You get frustrated when your kids ask why, want to color, or simply be around you.  You tell them you are tired yet you rush to go to the bar after work.

I am confused… you loved life but now when your wife cries you say she needs appeasing, you tell her she is sensitive and to act like an adult.  I remember when you wanted so bad to be an adult, you would to swear to never be like how you are right now.

Am I coming to your memory yet?  Are you so far away from me you will never see me again?

Just writing a note to let you know I miss you…
