i had the best day.

i'm thirteen now, and don't know how my friends could be so mean.

i come home crying, and you hold me tight and grab the keys.

and we drive, and drive until we find a town far enough away

and we talk and window shop until i forgot all their names.

i don't know who i am going to talk to now at school,

i know i am laughing on the card ride home with you.

i don't how long it will take for me to feel okay,

but i know i had the best day with you today.

how was i to know,

that my sister was going to be

my very best friend?

now i know why all the trees change in the fall,

i know you were on my side, even when i was wrong.

and i love you for giving me your eyes,

staying back and watching me shine.

and i didn't know if you knew,

so i am taking this chance to say:

i had the best day with you today.
