Tall trees
The first day of school
and I stood as tall
as them
All these
years when I could
barely touch their branches if I stretched
Your hand
quietly telling me everything
was safe
Your voice
as it carried me home
from the car in a sleepy daze
I'm sure you know
but let me say
I couldn't be without you
You're why I am who I am today
I could take notes
watch you all day
and never be
never be
as amazing
Grazed knees
Tears spilling endlessly
down into your lap
Dark dreams
You kept them away
with just a word
and your hand
Our house
Filled with the warmth and
the scents of the things you baked
Our world
was always
whatever we made
I'm sure you know
but let me say
I couldn't be without you
You're why I'm who I am today
I could take notes
watch you all day
and never be
never be
as amazing
Through losses and heartbreaks
Changes and mistakes
Road trips and birthdays
and (?) and (?)
I've been there with you
We saw them all through
I'm sure you know
but let me say
I couldn't be without you
You're why I'm who I am today
I could take notes
watch you all day
and never be
never be
as amazing
Tall trees
The first day of school
and I stood as tall
as them
All these
years when I could
barely touch their branches if I stretched
