crisp air

blue sky

short hair

bright eyes

and i watch you go,

roam

the streets of the city

you fit here so well

you're smart and you're witty

i dropped you off

with a bag and a moving box

while your parents were busy

and see how the time flies

how much you've bloomed

while i was gone

how good you healed

from getting torn

i love to see you like this

i like to have you shine

maybe i’m being selfish

hoping you won't outgrow me

and i watch you go,

roam

the streets of the city.
