Nephew.

oh nephew,
you’re going through some changes
my presence feels outdated to you
nephew
i’m sorry i look different
its a shame we’ve grown so distant its true

but your auntie
is no longer that boy thats you looked up to
and i’m sorry if that cuts you
where it hurts
but your auntie
doesn’t feel good in her body
she’s just coping how she ought’ be
to be her
and she hopes you understand

oh nephew,
i’m going through some changes
we not having too many exchanges no more
oh nephew
its not that i love you lesser
i’m just changing out my dresser
you can have my hand me downs

cuz your auntie
is no longer that boy thats you looked up to
and i’m sorry if that cuts you
where it hurts
but your auntie
doesn’t feel good in her body
she’s just coping how she ought’ be
to be her
and she hopes you understand

oh nephew,
we’re both going through these changes
i promise that i still got love for you
