Something New: Hollie McNish reads Missing Time
you’re here, and i love you
still, i miss the you before
from three years back, from yesterday
from the first springtime you yawn
i see them all
every age you’ve left behind
silhouette so swiftly shifting
callous prank of passing time
and you’re laughing and i love you
still, i miss the times you laughed before
more easily, or louder
or at jokes you hadn’t made before
how glorious to snuggle now
to programmes we both love
but then i miss the you of cbeebies
singing proud to number blocks
i love you growing up
but still, i mourn the fleeing time
and i can’t wait to see you older
but i still rock in shopping lines
and i love you fast asleep
but then i miss you wide awake
and tomorrow, and in twenty years
i’ll miss the you today
