the room smelled sweet
sweetness a mix between
the sterile and calm
a sweet temptation just out of my reach
there was a burning sensation
like the one in my throat
in the years past
but i try to shove it down
as if it wouldn't come up to bite me back
your voice lighter than current
because of the time that has gone
the voice of the person i knew
has changed in a way i wish it hadn't
because everyone has changed more than expected
my naive self believed that
you would stay the same
no matter how fast my clock would tick
and i would be here changed
and you would be here along side me the same
the kindness of my youth stayed
the kindness of you
your giving and guidance is what shaped me
even if you never got to see me
these past years
i'm glad i had the chance
to finally heal the child inside of me
so lost and afraid of the future
a future without you
and a future i was so scared of
glows bright and proud
happy and cofident
no longer afraid
but still deeply missing you
