Bigger

You’re bigger than me You’ll always be bigger So significant to me you are There were 3 And then there were 4 That we heard about all our existence And finally met Watched our bodies grow bigger and bigger Our beings created Coming into ourselves now Watched our mistakes grow fewer and fewer instead And I think we’re growing up now Clock toys that sing to us Stuffed dogs That aren’t really stuffed at all learning sarcasm was a funny fellow and very good friend Soccer in the yard You were my heroes So big So cool Seemed you knew Everything Little did I know I’d be as big as you And when I was knew nothing Followed you everywhere Had no where else to go Than behind you You left To the high sea Couldn’t follow Stayed at the pond Vessel will find its journey I felt Yes it will Always onto the next thing Dreaming for improvement But there’s a magnificence To a childhood moment You never get back And don’t miss til you don’t have Now Still just that little girl And you’re still bigger You’ll always be bigger But the gap is getting smaller Shared our 20s all together for a short time As we will our 30s 40s Isn’t everyone still just a kid? There were 4 And then I came along There were 5 And then there were 4 again. License plates change Rings exchanged Ashes buried Grief carried Forgiveness given Fights every now and then Laugh about our parents Call em crazy cuz we understand While secretly thinking the others are like them But respect is what they deserve cuz they are bigger I love you You are bigger You will always be bigger
