Losing

Nobody told me that I would lose my pacifier

and nobody told me that I would lose my toy car

I lost my place in line and lost my seat

I lost my papers and lost my ticket

Nobody told me that I would lose my religion

and nobody told me that I would lose my luggage

I lost my way home and lost my puzzle piece

I lost my voice and lost my mix tape

Nobody told me that I would lose my virginity

and nobody told me that I would lose my job

I lost my dog and I lost my cat

I lost my grandmother and I lost my grandfather

Nobody told me that I would lose my apartment

and nobody told me I would lose my gift

I lost my check and lost my fluid

I lost my socks and lost my way

Nobody told me that I would lose my spot reading

and nobody told that I would lose my line drawing

I lost my father and I lost my direction

I lost my thread and lost my cookies

Nobody told me that I would lose my balance

and nobody told me that I would lose my self

I lost my fear and lost my security

I lost my pride and lost my glue

Nobody told me that I would lose my memory

and nobody told me that I would lose my dream

I lost my competition and lost my judgment

I lost my entry and lost my degree

Nobody told me that I would lose my fight

and nobody told me that I would lose my teeth

I lost my invitation and lost my sensation

I lost my position and lost my inspiration

Nobody told me that I would lose my eyesight

and nobody told me that I would lose my hearing

I lost my hope and lost my tears

I lost my drive and lost my time

Nobody told me that I would lose you

and when I lost you,

I lost my heart.
