Once upon a time I was yours and you were mine

Your footsteps echoed down the hall to kiss me goodnight

You wrapped me up and tucked me in

And let me believe you'd be with me forever.


Your footsteps grew faint, few and far between

They came late at night when I was already fast asleep

Your kiss goodnight had disappeared

And you gave it to another.


You moved on and grew apart from me

I slowly forgot how it felt to be your little girl

It's like being so close to something yet it's so far gone

Like everything I remember is all a fantasy.


Only half of my heart remains

Her footsteps are still loud

Her kisses still warm and full of love

And she reminds me that I am worth more than just something  you left behind.
