I remember what you used to do and who you used to be, maybe even for a moment that you used to love me.
You used to smile when you looked at me
You used to laugh so hard at my jokes that you made me think I was funny
You used to dance through the house to the music your head, grabbing my hand and expect me to lead
You used to sit next to me and read my "boring" books until you fell asleep on my shoulder,snoring so loud that I'd have to stop reading and carry you to bed
You used to say goodnight before you went to sleep and insist that I give you a kiss on your four head
But now you sneak past my door
Now you sit in your room and we don't talk anymore
Now you roll your eyes when I try to make you laugh
I don't know what went wrong but it was only yesterday when you were two
Bright eyed and bushy tailed, with movements full of melodies and I thought my heart held the baseline
But lately our sounds are off key and awkwardly off beat
But I will listen to the tune of your heart and the melodies of your life
so that at the right time I can jump in on the next bar and harmonize with your new rhythm.
