you told me you'd always
be there waiting to catch me for when or if I was ready to fall.

i would look down
and see you with your
outstretched arms and unwavering eyesight set on me.

all this time you've been ready for me,
and so one day i jumped.
i jumped to and for only you.
and as i made my descent i looked down to see you.
and i did. see. you.

but you were running to catch someone else.
someone that was ready before me.

this was the day i had chosen to trust you with my love.
this was the day that you broke me in more ways than one.

you arrived too early and faltered and i arrived too late and shattered.

Everybody needs to have a great love
Every day need to
have a good mood
Some people have a special or secret love
But why is someone
in a bad mood?

Everybody needs to have a bright life
Every day need to
have some dreams
Someone has a beautiful and joyful life
Why can't some people
have any dreams?

You are a prince and I am a street child
You sleep with a diamond ring
and I play in the dust
You live in a haven and I'm in the cold
Why do people have inequality
between you and me?

Sigh, you study and go to school
You learn science, technology
and I take a dusty breath
I enjoy you, but I have tears of a fool
Do I have parents like you
in this wonderful earth?
