I love you.

I may not say it much.
But actions speak louder.

I love you.

And I have risked more than what I am entitled to.

I love you.

And I've hidden so much from you to help you.
I never said that I was starving until I knew you had cash to spare.
I never asked for anything unless I knew that I couldn't handle it.

I love you.

Both of us knew everything was too fast.
And just like that,
I'm all grown up.
Both of us can't believe it either.
I used to smell your feet.
But now, obviously, I'd be disgusted.
Cause I know what Athlete's foot is now.

I love you.

And you're scared.
I know that you're not used to see me like this.
A little taller.
A little heavier.
A little independent.
Why do you think that I act baby-ish around you?

I love you.

God I do.

But I'm scared too.
And there are parts of life that I need to learn for myself.
And sometimes it doesn't mean that you always have to be there.

It's a cruel double-edged sword principle.
We both get hurt.
But..
Eventually, a bird's gotta leave the nest.

I love you.
God I do.
It's a dog-eat-dog world.
But you'll always be my hero.
