Five years ago,
I kissed you goodbye.
I watched the plane take you away.
I wondered if I'd see you another day.
You didn't watch me cry,
You didn't even know.
I wanted to call you.
You didn't want to talk.
I wanted to hug you,
But it was too far to walk.
Mommy,
They told me you got hurt.
I cried for you, Mommy.
My tears stained my shirt,
I tried not to let them see.
Five months ago,
I kissed you goodbye,
And the police stole you away.
I wonder if I'll see you another day.
You can't see me cry,
You don't even know.
