"Leah its ok, we're here, we're all here for you. It's just what was meant to be." That's what they all told me.
"It's ok Leah, everything will be ok." I would hear countless times, over and over again. It wouldn't be ok though, it never would.
Everything fell apart, he died. What's worse though…is that I killed him.
I can still remember the day I was five years old, and it was getting cold outside so I put my big coat on. I heard his laugh, and I looked up to see him smiling down at me, and I smiled back. He took me to the harvest pumpkin patch; we rode on tractor rides until the sky turned gold. I hugged his leg the whole day long, and fell asleep on his lap, on the way home.
I'm
five years old
Its getting cold out, got my big coat on
I
hear your laugh and look up smiling at you
I run and run, past
the pumpkin patch, and the tractor rides
Look now, the sky is
gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home
A month later we went outside and watch the tress change color. I didn't know then, why the leaves turned green, but I didn't bother to ask him. We went home to watch Snow White, and I got scared of the old witch. He just laughed at me, and told me everything thing would be alright. And then, I knew, he wasn't scared of anything. We watched the movie, and I asked him where Snow White lived. He said to me it was either near, or far away. I didn't complain when he told me to go to bed, all I said was I, had the best day with him.
I
don't know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you're
not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow Whites house
is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today
I remembered when I was thirteen, and all of my friends teased me about my crush on Sam Uley. I didn't know they could be so mean. I ran home crying, he found me on the floor beside my bed crying my eyes out, and just held me, and took out his keys. He picked me up and carried me to the car; we drove far away until we reached Port Angeles. I told him why I was so sad; he told me they weren't really my friends if they did that. After that, we just talked and window shopped, until I forgot about everything.
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 found a town far enough away
And we talk
and window shop till I forgot all their names
I thought about school the next day, and who would be friends with me, but soon I didn't care. I just laughed the whole way home with him. He asked me if I was going to be ok, I didn't know, but one thing I did know, was that I had the best day with him that day.
I
don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school
But I know I'm
laughing on the car ride home with you
Don't know how long its
gonna take to feel ok
But I know I had the best day with you
today
I remembered I had the best father ever, his strength made me who I am today. I look over at Seth, he's sad, but has a smile on his face. I knew that, if there were a God, then he was smiling down at my little brother. I knew inside and out, that he would always be better than me. I looked around this pretty house that I always had, and I remember how I had so much space to run and play. And I remember that I always had the best days with him.
I
have an excellent father
His strength is making me stronger
God
smiles on my little brother
Inside and out he's better than I
am
I grew up in a pretty house
And I had space to run
And
I had the best days with you
I sat there and remembered that video I found way back when. I was three, you and me, we were talking, and I watched as you set up my paint sets for me. I sat there watching us at my birthday party. I was dressed up as Cinderella, and you were my price charming. Everyone was either a pirate or another Disney princess, and Seth was one of the seven dwarfs. He put me to bed that night and told me the legends. I knew right then and there that he was the smartest person that I ever knew. He kissed my head when he left, and told me that I was the prettiest lady in the entire world.
There
is a video I found from back when I was three
You set up a paint
set in the kitchen and you're talking to me
Its the age of
princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
And daddy's
smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world
Looking back on all of this, I now knew the answers to all my questions. Now I know why those leaves were turning green. And now I know why you took my side even though I was wrong. Now I can thank you, for giving me your brown eyes, and staying back and watching me shine. After all this I had just realized that I never told him that I had the best day with him all those days.
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'm taking this chance to say
That I had the best day
with you today

(A/N) Hope you liked it, please review and tell me what you thought about it!
PS: In the part; And daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world;I do understand the lyrics mean it is her mom who is the prettiest lady, but I had to change it for this.
