Where Were You?

Location

Where were you when I lost my first tooth?
Where were you when I first went off to school?
Where were you when I learned how to tie my shoe?
You weren’t there and that wasn’t fair.
I needed you in my life
Not having you in my life wasn’t right
I tried to hide the pain that I’ve gained
Do I even know your real name?
It feels like you left me out in the rain
Everyone else had someone like you
Why not me too?
What did I do?
I met you when I was already grown
Please don’t act like you’ve always been home
I ask you again where were you?
I needed you!
Now I don’t think I care
You was never there
When you did what you did I wish you thought about me
But you didn’t you just wanted to run the streets
You left before I could know who you were
You knew about me but I didn’t know about you
Where were you ?
