Thirteen
“Walk behind me”
 “Don’t hold my hand”
 “I’m older now,
  you just don’t understand”
 
 “Why not?  How come?”
 “Trust me, I’m old enough”
 “It’s embarrassing, can’t you see?”
 “It’s not us, it’s me, not we.”
 
 Oh, what a sad day it will be
 When you come face to face with the older me
 I hope that day will never come
 But when it does, as I change, please remember
 
 I love you,
 for now and forever.
