From Here, To You.

Can you see me waving slowly?
Can you see me from way up there?
Do you have a nice clear view?
Or is there too much smog in the air...?

I wish you were still down here.
I miss your big warm hugs.
The ones that enveloped my senses,
The safest kind of drug.

When I'm grown up will you see me then?
When I'm stubborn and 25?
Will you shake your head and laugh,
Thinking how easy it is to be alive.

I wish I had someone to throw a football with,
To be protective and stout.
To talk to me when I'm being headstrong
Or put me in timeout.

Someone to walk me down the aisle,
To look back at and see cry,
But I'll walk myself down the aisle.
And I'll hold my head up high.

Because I know you're always with me,
I know you see me now.
I know you're watching in sorrow and grief,
And maybe you're not so proud.

But I know you love me more than anything,
And you know I love you back.
The love between us will find me down here.
And it'll fill in the empty cracks.
