Analysis of Dear younger me
Dear 15-year-old me
Dear baby me
Dear younger me
I'm sorry
I couldn't keep that smile
That always made you so beautiful
That smile that made you sparkle
And lit up a room, never fake
That smile I failed keep
Your eyes ended up being more sparkly
From the water dropping each night
Those eyes that never went through bleeds
Those eyes that were never red
Now I color them with the darkest red
I'm sorry I failed you
I broke my promise
And made things very hard for you
I crushed your little heart
To pieces that will take eternity to glue
Dear younger me
Sparkle more
Dear younger me
I'm sorry
