I was 6 years old when I fell in love with a cloud<br />

I looked up to the sky from my old metal park bench to see the most beautiful, fluffy, white cloud<br />

I stood up to get a better view, but I noticed she was slowly drifting away<br />

Like a little paper boat in a river<br />

I begged the cloud to stay, but she just kept floating away<br />

I started to cry<br />

I cried until my tears blurred out the world<br />

And a puddle formed at my feet<br />

I don?t cloud watch anymore<br />

I was 9 year old when I fell in love with the moon<br />

Her beauty and her light were hypnotizing<br />

And I stayed up late every night just to see her shine<br />

But everyday she looked a little skinnier, a little thinner, a little dimmer<br />

I begged the moon to not hurt herself anymore<br />

But she just kept on getting thinner and dimmer<br />

Until one day she wasn?t there at all<br />

And I cried<br />

I cried until my stomach hurt and my arms ached<br />

I cried until an ocean formed and swallowed me whole<br />

I don?t look at the night sky anymore<br />

I was 11 years old when I fell in love with a girl<br />

She was tall and funny and kind<br />

And when I was with her it felt like the world melted away<br />

And I loved her<br />

I really did<br />

But slowly she started to flutter away<br />

Like a bee looking for another flower to pollinate<br />
