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.
