Best Poems Written by Carly Swaney

As a Kid

As a kid, I couldn’t have known 
I could have never understood how short our time would be 
I couldn’t have known how painful it would be 
There’s no way I could have known 
I couldn’t have known how much to cherish our time together 
I couldn’t have known how much I’d miss your voice 
How much I’d miss your hugs 
How much I’d need your advice 
As a kid, I never could have known that there would come a day I’d give everything to see you 
Now I know.
