Dear Peter,
You promised me you'd come for me
So nothing would ever hurt
You'd come and rescue me
From mundania of work and aging
So we could fight pirates
And meet mermaids
And talk to fairies
You promised me
And I am still waiting
But the days are getting long
And I am getting older
Please Peter,
Come and find me.
Second star to the right
And straight on till morning.

" Well I've been afraid of changing, cause I built my life around you.
But time makes you bolder, even children get older,
and I'm getting older too. . . ."

This is beautiful.So sad and lonely though and bittersweet.I feel your pain and heartbreak.We are all afraid of change I know that I a and I know many people who are too.You wrote this with heart and soul and it shows.Great job.

It is very interesting, a weird love letter that i guess only you and the person it is directed to will fully understand, im glad that i at least got a chance to read it, great poem
