Little boy look at how you've grown.
Look at all the shiny things you own.
But,
I know that your not satisfied.
With all your dreams
I made you set aside.
I did'nt want to change your plan.
Turn you into a mournful man.
And now you're such a pessimist.
Wondering if hope exists.
You talk about the people I dismissed.
Hate me for all the things you've missed.
And all the psycho girls you kissed.
I never once helped you resist.
If I was you I'd turn your back on me.
Forget your gut and go with plan B.
But guess what?
I'm all you have.
I know that sounds rather sad.
I'm sorry I never let you cry.
I said suck it up and you'd comply.
I left you searching for a home.
I never should have let you roam.
I should have let you keep in touch with your friends.
Instead of saying it does'nt matter who you offend.
I should have made you share some more.
You had a lot of problems that I made you ignore.
But at least you're no longer naive.
If something sounds too good, you always find it hard to believe.
But don't worry.
I still have some tricks up my sleeve.
Things that you would have never perceived.
I'm sorry I could'nt always stay true to you.
But when you we're down in the dirt, I would always come through for you.
And for all that I've wronged, I'll make it better.
So for you my younger self from the past...
I write this letter.
