Yesterday you were here with me,
today I’m all grown up,
tomorrow I’m going to be an old man.
Dear young me,
why did you leave so soon?

Dear young me,
yesterday I was young and innocent,
yet today I’m old and corrupt.
Dear young me,
why did you abandon me this early?

Dear young me,
I was this good respectful child,
why did you leave me so soon?
Dear young me,
why am I this old disrespectful man?

Dear young me.
Yesterday I was a child and I was nursed,
Yet today I’m the one nursing a child.
Dear young me,
why did you leave me so clueless and confused?

Dear young me.
I was just a child being taught,
yet today I’m a teacher teaching.
Dear young me,
why did you leave so soon?

Dear young me,
I was young and innocent,
and you chose to leave me,
I was young and learning,
yet you decided to abandon me.

Dear young me,
why am I growing up so fast?
Why am I being corrupt so easily?
Dear young me
why did you leave me so soon?
