I saw you up and walking
Through the mossy
Rainy wet
With jeans that wrap
Like snaking thread
And a strip of cloth
Wound tight around
A bare ***** excuse
For a shirt on your back
Such a careless exterior
That tries to hard
To get noticed
By the boy that walks beside you
I've known you for so long
Yet the only thing I recognize
Are your eyes
Trying so hard
To be grown
But still holding on
To girlishness
And I drop back
Away from you
Encircled in the warmth
Of the new loyalties
Of the new friends
That walk beside me
And I am happy to step away
But sad to go

I saw you up and walking
Through the mossy
Rainy wet
With jeans that wrap
Like snaking thread
And a strip of cloth
Wound tight around
A bare ***** excuse
For a shirt on your back
Such a careless exterior
That tries to hard
To get noticed
By the boy that walks beside you
I've known you for so long
Yet the only thing I recognize
Are your eyes
Trying so hard
To be grown
But still holding on
To girlishness
And I drop back
Away from you
Encircled in the warmth
Of the new loyalties
Of the new friends
That walk beside me
And I am happy to step away
But sad to go
