I was dying.


I was dying.

I was dying to grow up,

Dying to ride the big girl school bus.

Dying to get to high school.

Dying to get a boyfriend.

Dying to get my license.

Dying to move away from my parents.

Dying to grow up.

Now I am dying to stay young,

Dying for my husband to love me like teenagers again.

Dying for my neices to stay little.

Dying for my grandparents to stay here on earth.

Dying to cherish everything around me a little bit more.

Dying to stay young.
