13 years, I helped raise you,
you loved me, as the "favorite cousin"
you always held my hand when you were scared
and always wanted me to protect you
but now, you've let go of my helping hand
and you're walking away from me
you never want anyone's help,
but what you don't know is,
you need it
without saying one word,
you're walking farther and farther away,
and I don't know where you're going
or what you're doing,
because you won't turn back around
and walk back to me.
all I want is for you to be safe,
and whatever you do,
never forget those 13 years,
remember me always,
and just know,
we all love you |
