Like a Child (5/12/22)

I hate to admit it,

It’d be easier if I didn’t,

I’ve always worried that I acted too immature,

that you saw me as a child.

I don’t want you to think of me like that

I don’t want to be your annoying little sibling

But the truth is I’ve missed you,

I’ve missed you like a child

Even now, I still do sometimes

I never want to let you out of my sight,

I never want to leave you like I left you all those years ago

I don’t want to annoy you,

I just want to talk with you

Be with you

I never thought I’d see the day

When I’d see your face again

If I told the younger me

That she’d get to see you again

I don’t think she’d believe me

Or maybe she would, and she would cry

I’d probably cry too.
