What I WIll Miss

Inspired by Nora Ephron’s Lists, “What I Will Miss” & “What I Won’t Miss”

 Sophie’s smell

Olivia’s humor

Prosciutto & Melon

The deep blue of the sea

Long, slow, deep kissing

Eating dinner outside on summer nights

Ice cream

Stepping into freshly fallen snow

Jumping in the lake after soccer on the upper hill

Performing dance in high school

The pocket of cool air after passing the front row of bunks

My bed

Coffee in the morning

Watching Alvin Ailey Dance Company

Walking the streets of Rome

Beds of Black-Eyed Susans

Long conversations with Dana

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

A great return from my backhand

Giggling with Amy

The sound of Katydids in Rye

Long showers

Sal’s pizza

The smell of sandalwood

The hot sun on my skin
