Don't Forget About Me

You keep asking me to stay....
if only for one more week.
It hurts me so bad to say no.
I want to say yes.
I yearn to be here to help you out.
To be a good aunt and take good care of you.
I love you. I want to give you advice when you need it.
Just remember, I'm only a phone call away.
I will always take time to talk to you.
You are growing so fast...
I'm afraid I will miss it all.
Just the other day when we were swimming....
you decided to go under...all by yourself.
If I tried to help you out....you said no Mary.
I can do it all by myself.
It breaks my heart when you tell me you no longer need my help.
I know it breaks your mom's heart too.
We want you to stay young...
where everything is a new adventure
and doing things by yourself is a big step.
When the time comes....
and your grown.....
don't forget about me.
