I used to wonder about the way I was treating you,

but now I question why we wasted time without regret.

I always viewed you as an obstacle who was trying to copy my dreams,

but I never thought you were going to be a part of that dream.

I once saw the happiness in your eyes that I desired.

but now I am creating happiness along your side.

If I could kill the words that managed to sink you,

I would light them up in fire and let them burn.

I never saw the spark you had to ignite my childhood,

but I might be the one to clear out the doubts forming at the start of your path.

I can't retrieve back my steps to grow with you, 

but I can deepen my understanding by fixing what I broke.

I used to think of you as a distraction who just wanted to ruin the perfect world I craved for,

but now I see you hold the star I must have in order to live my life without bitterness.
