Dear Peter Pan,

I think you may have forgotten me

I think you left me behind

I know it must be an accident

I’m not that easy to find

You probably just missed me,

Puerto Rico is so so small

But maybe you should have tried again

Before I got so tall

Suddenly, everything’s harder

I’m spreading myself too thin

My parents and school ask too much

And then, of course, there’s him

I feel my conscience aging

Because more and more seems “ok”

Those things that I promised I’d never do…

Oh Peter, I’m so ashamed

Neverland still calls to me

I’d never forgot that romance

Is it too late to take me?

Peter, give me a chance.

I know it may be a lot to ask,

But really, you don’t understand,

Pretending to be a real life adult,

Is getting out of hand.

Take me back to schoolgirl crushes,

Back to scraped up knees,

Take me back to broken play dates,

I’ll take it all with ease.

Take me with you, Peter Pan

I never want to be alone

Wendy might have left you behind

But I will call you home.
