My purple nightgown
Life was better when I fit into my princess nightgown
Lights were brighter
The sky more vibrant
All the jokes funnier
Big things felt like distant problems
So distant it was easier to imagine unicorns on poppy petals than my first day of high school
He was here and now he's gone
Songs were catchier
Our laughter more pure
I miss the days of the purple long-sleeved nightgown
The one adorned by my favorite princesses
Back when I could slip on my PJs and not have to worry about washing off my makeup
And the days were full of belly laughs, full of carefree naivety
Always longing to look back rather than forward
I miss you, baby girl
The little girl in the purple princess nightgown, forever and always
