No matter where I go, or who I am I'll still be sitting here on a swing set watching the stars kicking my legs higher and higher, trying to make it around the world with you. Its unfair, it really is. So terribly unfair that I got all the way here to another year without you. I feel like I should be whole at this point, I've been rebuilding for nine years but, I'm still broken from the day you shattered. I'm no longer human without you, I c an't bear the idea of losing someone as important as you were. How can I be whole, if most of me is with you, my final piece. If people made up the stars, and part of me is still convinced they do Then yours would have fallen by now, and I've been desperately trying to follow along please, slow down and let me burn with you. Why does it still have to hurt? Its over with, done with but even now I don't want to believe its true I've needed you so much. But what am I supposed to do when you're just, gone? I can forgive but I can't forget because every time I look around I see you and its not fair everything around me is different Its all changed, except for me. I'm still the little girl you've left behind. No one stays young forever I'm not seven anymore, and you're not the wonder woman I hoped you'd be and I guess thats okay now. But its over with, done with I'll let you sink back into remission. No matter where I go, or who I am I'll still be sitting here on a swing set watching the stars kicking my legs higher and higher, trying to make it around the world with you.
