When that sky-tinted uniform is packed away,

It's like he's no longer himself.

Identity rests with that dreaded blue collar that he

Grew to love like a son.

Maybe more of that love than he realizes owes itself to me.

I'm the closest thing he has to family,

And he doesn't know my name.

That white tag against the blue really is

The only reason

He remembers his own.
