My child, has it been long enough?
Can you see me yet?
For so long, I wait,
To spare you from tears,
I let you move on at your pace,
I ignore my needs,
You need me more than ever now,
So why would I deny you that?
Take my hand,
Remember I am here,
No matter how dark it is,
No matter how well-hidden you are,
I will search for you,
I will find you,
And I will bring you back,
I will let you learn to live without her,
So that maybe you could teach me,
I will support you,
I will avoid the subject,
Or talk it through,
For as long as you want,
As many times as you need,
Just promise me,
You will look at me,
And see me,
Not a replacement for her.
