I miss you mom Tough love is difficult in a world of what ifs and why's Sometimes I waste my energy Thinking up horrible things that could happen to you I know nothing lasts forever But growing up is scary Especially doing it alone The stars don't sparkle like they used to The jet black sky is fading I want to sleep I'm tired But I'm also really scared What if I wake and you are gone What if I close my eyes and 10 years pass by I don't understand fear But I know I need you here
