i had a bad dream last night, but this time i don't have you to call out to when i'm scared
to reassure me the spider with pink socks won't hurt me, or come back
i don't have the comfort of knowing you're there if i wake up in the middle of the night
no matter how frustrating it would've been hearing me call out to you
i wish i could go back in time, ten years ago today
not ten years ago tomorrow, or ten years ago yesterday
before i knew what i know now
when my pure mind didn't know he was going to leave
i didn't even know it was possible
when all i cared about was playing animal jam after school
my favourite band was one direction
and the roleplays i would make with my littlest pet shops were alive as ever
this time the bad dream was about you
