You Cried
When i saw you cry, I changed.
I had always placed you high up on a pedestal.
To me you were larger than life.
You protected me.
You were my hero.
I wanted to be just like you.
When i saw you cry, I was confused.
I thought you loved each other.
How come he said mean things?
I love you both so much.
Why don't you love each other?
Is it me?
Did I do something wrong?
When I saw you cry, I realized you were human.
You couldn't make all the bad things go away.
You hurt, too.
When I saw you cry, I wanted to make your tears go away.
To see you smile again.
To make you laugh.
When I saw you cry, i changed.
I grew up.
No longer your baby, when i saw you cry.
