First said

Do not Cry

I was four.

Looking at myself

Who I didn't

Want to see.

 

When I

Last said

Do not Cry

I was ten.

Looking at them

Who I didn't

Want to see.

 

When you

First said

Do not Cry

I was ten.

When you 

Last said

Do not Cry

Looking at the ex-stranger

Who I knew

Was leaving me alone.
