I stepped out my window (Wendy's lament)

I stepped out my window

it wasn’t a dream

I thought
I would never
have to come back

you pinned your shadow
against the wall

smiled your
lemonade smile

and whispered
promises into
my ear


Now,
I get to grow old
while you are off
playing

Now I get to be
the grown-up


Still, I wish
I could step out
my window
every night

I would’ve traded kisses
for thimbles
any day
