I was only nine

Saying goodbye to your childhood self.

I was only nine

I was only nine when
you said goodbye
and all our talks would be forgot
because there comes a time
that you grow up
and I'm sorry I grew up
and we didn't have longer
but it made us stronger

and I was only nine
when I changed
because I had to turn the page
and try to escape the pain

and I was only nine
when I realized
that growing up
was the only way
so may you always be apart of me
but not all of me
