when i'm with you
i'm a teenager
riding my new ladybird
buying my 1st strawberry soda
when i'm with you
i'm a 6 year old
happily drunk on frooti
swinging in the park
infront of my house
when i'm with you
i'm as shy as a teenager
wearing a laced bra
for the first time
when i'm with you
i see a butterfly flutterby
and wonder just how many of them
are inside my heart
when i'm with you
i feel the wind in my hair
while you take me in your arms
and spin the world around me
when i'm with you
i am that 6 year old
playing hopscotch
holding my skirt
kicking about with my small toes
when i'm with you
i'm wearing that babypink & cream frock
that my father gifted on my 6th birthday,
and running around barefoot with joy
when i'm with you
i'm that shy teeanger coz
my crush has a crush on me too
when i'm with you
i want to buy popsicles & cotton candies
and collect stickers and tazos with you
when i'm with you
i let you tie my laces
and choose which color of gems
i am going to have next
When i'm with you
i wonder how blue the skies are
how green the grass is
how flirtatious the wind is
and why you love me so much
in memory of a rare love, written in a heartbeat.
