This One's For Her

I have a friend who just got her heart broken truly for the first time. She's in a horrible place right now. I hope this makes you feel better, Sam.





So there you go little one
With your Barbie dolls and pig tails
Still so innocent
With no cares in the world

You're still at that age when
Life only gives lemons and
The worst thing to happen
Is when someone steals your crayons.

You have no idea
What lies in your future
And you don't really care
About what the future holds

Here's to when you were
In kindergarten
When you got in trouble
For not sleeping during nap time

You didn't have to worry
Everyone took care of you
You thought boys had cooties
And they grossed you out.

Here's when the worst thing
Was a visit to the doctor
And your mom making you sleep
Instead of playing outside.

When you hated your bath time
And you fought over cheetos
And best friends meant forever
And no one got hurt

This one's for the little girl
Only 6 years old
That sprained her wrist
Doing gymnastics at home

When you pretended the floor was lava
Jumping couch to couch
While blaring Brittney Spears
Singing at the top of your lungs

When you set up a pillow fort
With quilts and chairs
Every weekend in your living room
Watching movies til you dropped

Here's to all the innocense
And curiosity we lost.
Here's to the little girl
Who loved to do magic tricks.

When you're favorite show was Barney
And Dora wasn't born yet
But you were way too cool
To wear him at school

When you secretly cried
When you stayed at a friend's house
Cuz you missed your mommy
But you'd never tell

Here's to the simplicity
And to all of the love.
What happened to us?
Let's go back to those days.
