Keep your innocence,
I wish I had.

Don't grow up too fast,
I want to grow down.

Admit your scared of the dark,
Before you learn the world's true darkness.

Kiss mom goodbye... in front of your friends,
Before she stops trying to first.

Don't believe all the words I say,
Especially the hate behind them.

Don't give up on me little one,
I won't give up on you.

How do you still care about me,
After the careless words I've shouted?

Do you still care?
Every ounce of my being hopes you do.

Because, believe it or not,
I love you little brother.

This is written to my little brother. I loved him no matter what and I can only hope he forgives me for the horrible sister I am to him. I love you Cole.
