I do as you do,
Dress like you,
Walk like you,
Wish like you.

I've watched you at your best,
And I've watched you at your worst.
I scream for you to do what you love,
Grit my teeth for your big moment,
The moment when all feels right.

I gaze upon in admiration,
Fantasize in hope,
I dream of being,
The one with that moment,
I live for that pat of approval,
Even if it only happens once.
