If I picture a thing enough,

Will it come true?

If I loved you enough,

Would you love me too?


See, I know there's power in positive thinking

But I also know

There is a 10 year-old girl in me

Still waiting to become Nancy Drew.

Or Taylor Swift.

Or Princess of Genovia.

But when she looks in the mirror

I'm still here.


I don't remember her often

But looking at you

I feel that small again


One word from you

And I am not enough

Still reaching out

Mouth open, but no words to say

Because you're within arm's reach

But still a world away.
