i thought you’d come back, eyes shining and teeth glinting, i thought you’d see me again and i’d run to you as the child i once was with rosy cheeks and messy hair, i would run into your arms and you’d pick me up and help me touch the sky. i thought you’d be forever, in the kitchen baking cookies, you’d put some raisins on there but secretly i would replace them chocolate i thought you’d stay with me, making sure that i grew up without anyone pushing me down and when life hit hard, i would turn around and see you there, towering over my enemies because i thought you as so big and strong, my hero i thought that when you left it wasn’t truly a goodbye that my tears from then were only a hoax a lie and you’d come back you’d wake up when i begged you to be with me because i needed you and you knew it so i thought we were going to be forever i ran downstairs yelling your name in my mind replaying the memories of what i hoped that were from dreams but i touched the final step and i saw your empty bed i loved sleeping so it really meant something to wake up with the sun shining down my face, it meant something to me to wake up and hope that it was all a silly dream but no because when i touched your dusty bed it wasn’t a silly dream everything was real and it was silly of me to think of it as a “silly dream”
