I wanna know
Every path you took
Every wrong
And right turn
I wanna know the difference
From who you are now
To who you were

I'm more interested in your flaws
All the things
That make you who you are
So take me on an adventure
Through your minds rivers

I wanna see the dark alley ways
As much as the sunny meadows
Expose it all to me
Give me a chance
To rake away the leaves
Filled with bitter memories

Open up
Give me some time
Let me fill your mind
With memories
As sweet as that Moscato wine
We shared that lovely night.

There's a meaning
Reason
Or lesson
Behind everything
Its whether you chose to see it or not
That makes all the difference.

i'll start to get sad again
anxious for what didn't happen
desperate for one last first adventure
the feeling of being unsatisfied
and there is no place to put the fault
but on your own shoulders
because as your past is envious
your future is furious
why did nothing happen
did i not grow up fast enough
or did i grow up too soon
school will start and i will begin to watch
myself crumble

I don't know.
I don't know,
what it feels like to love as a parent,
because my experience is limited by my experiences.

I haven't had the chance to experience parenthood,
however existence is shared by all existing things,
and whenever I observe the existence of parenthood,
Many things are shared with me.
Good and Bad.

It is here I begin to understand what a child is to a parent.

A child is like the sun,
to its parents sea.

The brighter a child shines,
the deeper its rays penetrate,
the layers of the sea.

And you may wonder,
How does the sun get to shine bright?

The sun gets to shine bright,
Through the love, understanding and acceptance of the sea.
