I just wanted to make you proud,
but thinking back on it,
I wonder if you disapproved of me all along,
and all of those days and nights you spent with me
were all a waste of time.
Is it possible that I was never going to be
good enough in your preconceived view?
Our dreams never happened according to plan,
in fact they all slipped right through our hands like sand;
we lost it all.
Suddenly,
my heart and soul have been struck by the truth,
and we can't ever change that now.
