I realized I wasn't a kid no moreat the age of 10.I started living aloneNot because I had no parentsbut because they were never home,where I am And even when they were home,time was never taken
Mami, I can see the pain in your eyes
As you reminisce on how you hate some guys
I wish I could go back in time
When I belived that the world was not no my side.
You were the knight that fought to protect me.
You lifted me up when I was ready,
Even though I was glued to my old thoughts.
You made my life heaven,
My greatest influencer, absence
I was young but I still knew of your absence.
You weren’t there, and you thought we wouldn’t notice.
But I always felt the distance.
My greatest influencer, absence
I was young but I still knew of your absence.
You weren’t there, and you thought we wouldn’t notice.
But I always felt the distance.
