Talon David - Apple Tree

She's telling that story again
The one when I was four and I didn't understand
She always starts to tell it when she feels the race of time
I can see it in her eyes
It wasn't too long ago
I wanted to run away
Make a life of my own
Route to California
She said
If you must go
Promise to come back to me if you ever feel alone
Her heart gets bigger filling up the empty nest
I never realized just how much of it I'd miss
Now that I've felt gravity I'm proud to be her mini me
I am the apple and she is the apple tree
And it was thrilling
Exciting
Sailing through the free fall
Severed from her leaves
But then I hit and bounced and realized
No longer could I see her eyes
But I couldn't tell her that
Or we would just agonize and cry over the past
So I eased her mind
Took a seat on the front row
Finally it was my turn to watch her grow
Her heart gets bigger filling up the empty nest
I never realized just how much of it I'd miss
Now that I've felt gravity I'm proud to be her mini me
I am the apple and she is the apple tree
Now that the apple has fallen from the tree
Her roots have risen around me
And no matter how long or how far we are apart
Beating in my veins is a piece of her heart
And it gets bigger filling up the empty nest
I never realized just how much of it I'd miss
Now that I've felt gravity I'm proud to be her mini me
I am the apple and she is the apple tree
I am the apple and she is the apple tree
