i see you went to new york,
the place with a million lights.

my favorite place in the world,
you were once my favorite girl.

i wonder if you thought of me,
while driving up there during christmas time.
i told you i wished to see the lights.

i wonder if you took the time.

and you got into university,
a tough one at that.
your passion for learning goes to show.

i'm proud of you, you know.

i wish i was like that.

i wish i was smart.
i wish i was strong.

and i know you struggle with perfectionism.
but you look at you now.

i hope you find your favorite place in the world.
you were once my favorite girl.
