i grew up in a pretty one story house with big windows.
autumn leaves were falling down,
i hear you coming home,
and i rush to the door to hug your leg,
what i would do to get
those days of childhood innocence back,
oh, i hate how i rolled my eyes,
the last time when you said that.
remember every Friday
and sometimes after Wednesday basketball, too,
you'd buy donuts for us
from the Safeway bakery, after school,
i'd get the chocolate ones with sprinkles
and my brother wanted the same thing i got,
but bigger and better,
so he could brag to his friends and
i miss Disneyland days and roller coasters
that you hated, but you were so brave.
you protected me, even when i didn't deserve it,
you tried your hardest, even when you were breaking,
but i didn't notice. i wish i could take the last 3 years back
because i already miss you now
how much will i miss you when you go?
i'm so sorry, that i was so ignorant to not know.
please give me one last selfish thing to ask for.
don't forget me,
even if it's something that you can't control,
i'm not ready for you to leave me and i never will.
i don't think that i can learn to live without you,
springtime sadness and pretty petals are floating in the air,
i don't want to lose you,
please stay, i swear that i'll make you proud,
just don't forget me.
i'll miss your sweetness and your warmth,
even when i was bitter and so cold.
i'll love you enough to make up for all the pain,
so please don't leave me,
because i need you to stay.
