I wanted to be just like Peaches
With tons of friends
and countless amounts of men
trailing over her every word
alas, I was too much of a nerd
I tried to mimic her laugh
She was a genius of arts & crafts
Her confidence I wish I had
If she even noticed me I’d be glad
She had the most gorgeous long nails and pretty hair
All I could ever do was stare
I wanted Goober to look up to me
Come to me for advice
Protect her no matter the price
Be the type of girl she’d follow
and go wherever I go
Make her laugh at nothing at all
and never allow her to fall
She would be proud of the things I do
Help her with homework and tie her shoes
She was fine on her own
Even worse now that we’re grown
Peaches and Goober have a bond
They always had each others’ back
If one fell off, the other picked up the slack
Each grew in total independency
Instead of two of them, I wish it were us three
I wish I could just be a part
Though I love them with all my heart
There comes a time when you realize
Things won’t change, no matter how much you apologize
I must regretfully accept
My past they will never forget
