In my mind I always figured you'd be there,
you kept trying to tell me to stand on my own,
but I basked in the sunlight of your love
never wanting or needing to grow up.
I felt so safe and soft within your shadow
in my fairytale dreams you would always be there,
but little whispers from your soul kept nudging me
that you wouldn't be forever there for me.
You wanted me to stand on my own two feet,
to know who I was when you were no longer around,
you could see who I was very deep inside
but needed me to discover myself before you went.
You kept telling me how life would change
how I would need to stand on my own two feet,
that as I grew life would take on so many different colours
and I would need my inner strength to face life on my own.
But I felt so safe and soft within your shadow
in my fairytale dreams you would always be there,
but little whispers from your soul kept nudging me
that you wouldn't be forever there for me.
You were trying to tell me to go and chase my dreams
and no matter how much you loved me you wouldn't always be there,
you told me how so many of your dreams went unexplored
and not to let winter come into my life too soon.
I'm still trying to avoid walking away from your love
for I feel so safe and soft within within your shadow,
but I know I must move on to find the depth of me
and I will always want to see that pride in your eyes..
