when i was young & small,
i didn\'t know you then.
there were things i wished for then,
much like a best friend.
hoping to be held & just be
towards eternity.
as years passed
i aged as the summers went
& countless loves destroyed me then.
i found myself praying for tenderness
& a love that couldn\'t be bested.
inches above me, myself, & I,
you only cared about saying hi,
as we exchanged words of conversation
& time well spent,
i found myself wishing that it would never end.
