You Promised

You should be here to tell me "I told you so"
When I drink one too many cups of coffee
Keeping me wide awake till it's 3 a.m.
And you would talk to me till I fall asleep

You should be here to go along with my crazy schemes
When I suddenly want a fake tattoo on the inside of my wrist
And force you to get matching ones
You would let me do whatever I wanted

You should be here to witness all the cringey stuff I do
When I gracefully trip over imaginary objects
When I make weird sounds in public
And you would laugh and tell me how cute I was

You should be here to teach me how to play videogames
When I don't understand what's going on
When I hit random buttons hoping for a lucky kill
And screaming everytime I die; doing a happy dance when I win

You should be here to tell me the words I need to hear
When it's the dreaded time of the month
And I would suddenly burst into tears for no reason
You would put up with my erratic mood swings

You should be here to hold me in your arms
When I don't know what's wrong and nothing feels right
When I feel so lost that I don't know what to do
You would lay my head on your chest and just be there for me

You should be here to tell me to rest
When I stay up too late finishing a paper
When there's one annoying member who won't do his job
And you would tell off that lazy ass for me

You should be here when I talk about random topics
When I see a funny meme on Facebook
That would leave me laughing for an hour
Or when I see a sad quote that I can relate to

You should be here when I can't decide
When I can't choose a topic to write about
When I can't pick a movie to watch
When I don't know what to eat or what time to sleep

You should be here when I'm extremely sleep-deprived
And intoxicated with insane amounts of caffeine
When I ask you either personal things or really stupid questions
Ranging from your dreams, fears, hopes, and the color of your shirt

You should be here when I'm bored out of my mind
When I think of doing silly things
Like playing with cutters and scissors
And flirting with strangers on the internet

You should be here with me
But I wonder where you are right now
You left without any goodbyes
One day, suddenly you were gone
