She took me to the museum everyday
I’d look at all the priceless works of art in awe
I’d never get tired of looking at them
I swear I could’ve stared at them for hours
Going to the museum was my favorite part of everyday
One day she stopped taking me to the museum
I can’t even look at the museum when I walk past
Not without thinking of the masterpieces I would look at for hours
But there was one part of the museum in particular that I loved the most
The windows
They were filled with so much light
When I looked at them, time would stand still
I’d give anything to just go back and look at the windows again
I’d stare at them for hours
If only I had known that the last time was the last time
I miss the museum everyday but I can’t go anymore
People keep telling me that I should just find a new museum
But I can’t
I don’t want to
I never thought a museum would ever mean so much to me
Growing up, I never really liked them
But there was something about the museum that she would take me to
It became such an important part of my life
Now I spend everyday thinking about it
Wishing I could go back
One last time
