Do you remember the first time my tiny hand
wrapped around your finger?
Do you remember the first time I ran into your arms?
Do you remember the first time I said your name,
the first time I said I loved you bigger than the moon,
and the first time you held me so tight when I cried?
You once meant everything to me.
I would have crawled around the world for you,
now it feels like we are a whole world apart.
How can someone once be my hero,
my idol, my inspiration,
then turn straight into a stranger
who vanishes from my life?
I'm sorry I couldn't be what you wanted me to be,
sometimes I wish I could change just for you
because the child inside of me whom you abandoned,
keeps the memory of you and me alive,
of how we used to be,
and she still longs for the miniscule chance
that you might still love her too,
therefore might still love me now.
There was once a time when my newly-opened eyes
saw the whole world inside of you,
and I believed
that by wrapping my tiny hand around your finger,
that you would never, ever,
let me go.
