I remember, I remember.
When I used to want to be just like
You.
I thought you were
Pretty.
I thought you were
Perfect.
I remember, I remember.
When the monsters used to growl at me
Under my bed
In my closet
and the only place I wanted to be
was in your arms
pressed against your stomach
and you telling me it was
Okay.
I remember, I remember.
When that girl at school
gave me
hell
and you told me what to do
and I felt like a superhero
when I marched right up to her
and shut her up
at Recess.
I remember, I remember.
And it was time for bed that night
And i followed you to my room.
Your footsteps made
Imprints
in the
carpet
and I stepped into them
one at a
time
Feeling just like you
as I walked in each footstep.
And up ahead you called out
come on, sweetie
and I looked up and
smiled
and saw you.
I remember, I remember.
I thought you were
Beautiful.
I thought you were
Perfect.
And I looked down at my
small feet
in your
big footsteps
Following your path.
I looked up again
Then, I ran ahead
veering off the path of
Footsteps
and making
My Own.
this is perfect and everything.
