Minute Maid Lemonade

dear little boy drinking a lemonade
i am sorry you made me cry
the way you stared over the trees
unimpressed and unconcerned
just sippin’ away
waiting to grow up
rocked me
cause i was you once

so sip away
be confused by my tears
but one day
you’ll witness innocence
in a liminal moment
and you’ll understand why i cried

so sip away
be clueless to it all
but one day
you’ll walk over that ridge
to endure the inferno
and you’ll want to come back to today

so sip away
be unimpressed by the trees
but one day
you’ll want somewhere to run
from a world you never asked for
and you’ll be sitting next to me

staring at the trees
crying watching a boy drink a lemonade
