You used to be there
To tell me "It's too cold. Wear a sweater."
You used to be there
To kiss my scratches better.
But where have you gone?
When did I lose you?
You look the same,
But you're not the one I once knew.
Sometime down the road,
When my childhood was at its end
You decided to stop being a parent
You wanted to be my best friend.
That is't what I needed.
When didn't ask for this?
Without your love and guidance
My life may go abyss.
I love that you're my shopping buddy.
But, I'm sorry, I need more
Boundaries, structure, help and guidance
Just like I had before.
Could you please do this for me?
This is causing out relationship to become a mess.
Could you try to play your role?
Could you try to regress?
We don't have a friendship.
We have something more.
But I'm tired of this.
I can't deal with it anymore.
I love spending time with you
But you try too hard to be my best friend.
Why would you want a friendship that could fade away?
When you could be my parent? That relationship will never end.
This is hard to say. I don't want you to cry.
But if being a parent is too much of a bother
I'll pick up my things, and move on.
Plenty of others out there who would love to be a mother.
