Because I Don't Think That They'd Understand

You know those times when you were little (much littler than you are now), and you got so tired from walking or running or playing, and you just didn't want to go on walking anymore... and you'd turn to an adult, perhaps your parents, and stretch out your little arms. And they'd pick you up swiftly, and pat your back or say a few words that you may not even understand, but that you knew referred to your sleepyheadedness.

I'm feeling that way now... I am tired of walking, and I just need to be carried, if only for a short distance. But would you put me on your back and carry me, understanding that I am just tired, and I will be okay after a while?

It's the saddest feeling when the one you love doesn't seem to touch the meaning of your heart. It is at that point that you feel farthest from them, even if they were right there next to your ear.
