It’s Hard For You Too

You asked me to the movies

Shared your raspberry Icee

Asked if I wanted some of your popcorn

All these things you’ve never done before

You move to sit a little bit closer

I’m wishing this movie wasn’t over

It’s so hard to smile when it’s done

Fighting the tears about to come

You may never say the words out loud

But you might miss having me around

Saying goodbye to your friends

As your new lives begin

And I know this because I was there too

Caught between two worlds that are pulling you

I know the last few years have been tough

Remember you are loved, you are enough

Listen, because it’s so easy for me to see

You are a better human than I’ll ever be

Smart , beautiful inside and out, and confident

And out of all the people on this continent

You need to take care of you, ask for help

It’s okay to not be okay, take care of yourself

I will always be here, one call away

Call, text, Snapchat, anytime night or day

I know if you read this you’ll say it isn’t true

It’s okay, because I was once in your shoes

So go out into this world and make your mark

You’ve been given wings, time to fly, time to start

Don’t be afraid to fail

Take care of your mental health

No matter where you are I’ll be in the stands

Because, my daughter, I’ll always be your biggest fan

Looking through your windshield

While looking in your rear view

Letting you go is hard for me

But I know it’s hard for you too
