I looked up to you
Did I see you as mean
Did I see you as a person that would hit me
And I would hold back the tears of pain that I felt
I held back the expression of pain
Not to show my weakness of it.
Maybe I held back because I didn’t want you to know I was just a weak child
Maybe I looked up to you whenever we hung out
Maybe I took the pain because I wanted to be like you
The person that knew no pain
But yet I wanted to be loved
All I ever wanted was you to say
“You’re a cool little dude”
or maybe I wanted you to leave me alone
to do something out of my sync for you seems odd to me now
but when I look back I would've done anything for you
when I got old enough
I realized pain wasn’t a hero
Or was it to me
This confused me
Maybe I looked up to you still
But I just didn’t hang out with you
I sat beside you as you drove down the highway
Listening to the music of the cd you had in
No words would be spoken, but I was someone to hang with
Since I was the only one that was there
I didn’t ask you how your life was
I didn’t ask if you wanted anything
I didn’t ask anything at all
Just the music going through the speakers
Ask you ‘how come’ was abnormal then
Now in hindsight, I wish I would have heard it from you
Instead of your friends
Now that you are gone I finally realize that you were my hero
And always will be.
