Behind

Hello,

I'm behind you now,

we used to be hand-in-hand.

I've been listening to your stories

but now they're getting muter

 

You're growing up

I'm still the same

You're looking for the future

I'm stuck in the past

You're running forward

I'm dragging myself

 

Your figure is disappearing,

You left me behind.

I can't see you now.

Silence.

Good Bye.
