I stand here

Bonded by birth

I promise I will never leave

Wide eyes entering the world

Unbeknownst to the spectacular and scary world awaiting

Thunder cracks and lightning strikes but

Always a watchful eye over the shoulder

Within the small world of hallways and bedrooms,

Accustomed to life together

Two princesses ruled a quaint kingdom

Your world expanded to hallways with classrooms

Mine stayed the same

The small world a little more lonely

with only one princess to rule it

Then the big world introduced itself

Less sparkly and special

More dreary and dreadful

The small world coming back to life when the clock struck four

But still a feeling had switched, swapped, no longer the same

Days passed by

The sparkle that once lit up our small world grew dimmer

Separated by pain and heartbreak

Thoughts of losing our love

But I stand here

By your side

Through our feelings of lostness

That we thought would never go away

I always stood there
