Better..
The first time you ever rode a bike,
you realized now you won't have to sit in the back with your brother,
your dad taught you to balance and how to paddle,
and soon you got so much better.
Remember in 5th grade when you thought French was the hardest language ever,
and some how you still managed to ace the test,
your sister taught you that.
Remember when you had your first date and you were so nervous,
you weren't even talking to me,
I could see through your shirt because of the sweat,
so we had to end it sooner and had to and call your brother.
And on second date you got me flowers and chocolates and said sorry
somehow you were still sweating but less this time,
I knew your brother taught you that.
And in senior year when you didn't understand a word your teacher said in calculus,
but you somehow managed to pass his class,
well.....,
your teacher taught you that.
and the same year you were so afraid to dance at a party,
I could still feel the sweat on hands and on your shirt,
but you didn't lose your rhythem,
I taught you that.

Remember your first heartbreak in freshman year of college?
everyone does,
you weren't eating much and you barely talked to anyone,
dared if anyone ever started talking about her,
you couldn't stop crying,
it must have felt like you were dying,
but you got through it,
you moved on,
you started laughing when we mentioned her,
"I was so stupid", you said
who taught you that?
....
Nobody...
and I know because I was there the whole time,
And nobody was supposed to teach you that,
you kept pushing everyone away,
and you got better,
the same was you got better at riding your bike,
it took months and months for you to learn but this time with lots of drinking, crying and sobering up,
but you made yourself better.
.
Sometimes you don't need anyone to teach you stuff,
You will eventually get their by yourself,
Just like you always have.
