My mother always told me
That a man should be well read
At least I listened well
And did as she said
Now I'm Slightly
Worn around the edges
Pages slightly bent
Text a little faded
But the words still relevant
I know I show some dog ears
Straightened here and there
But as my mother told me
I have become well read

I have been following you around ever since I can remember

Your hand me downs I still wear, even if there are holes and stains, because not even the wash can get rid of your smell

Sometimes, when you seem extra far away, I whisper everything that happened to me throughout the day to my pillow
Just like old times

Whenever I hear something knock  the wall it reminds me of you. Of us and or secret little code

You have taught me many life lessons while I on the other hand give you love advice even though I have never been in a relationship

You're coming home today. A week of blasting Taylor swift before school and a week of story telling. A week of someone on my side

You asked mom if you could take the car but now you have to share it with your favorite siblings. This is what it feels like to share

You try your hardest to pass this year with flying colors but you need to know that if you step out of the phone booth to fly the very people that you want to save are the ones usually standing on your cape

Don't forget to slow down and remember who your family is. No matter what you do in life we will always be here to catch you if you fall

When we were little you never wanted me to play with your friends but I don't think you understood
I just wanted to play with you all the time because you are my idol

I know you are not perfect because nobody is
I just want to follow my dreams just like you did
