my biggest fear isn't lions and tigers and bears
or the completely irrational, situational demises I concoct in my head
if you were to ask me what my biggest fear was, it'd be you
i'm scared to see you finally post a picture with a girl, heart eyes in the caption
i'm scared to be sent an invite to the wedding, having to fake an illness because it'd be too hard to see you like that
i'm scared to walk into a store or mall or park
and see you and your wife with your child that looks just like you
I'm scared to fake that smile
but mostly, I'm scared for the day you won't remember me at all
