I remember when I held you in my hands I couldn't stop staring at you promised I'd be gentle as I can and I think you promised, too you'd look like you were sleeping if your skin wasn't so cold even though your heart's not beating it's you I wanna hold can I cradle you for a little while? if you don't mind and they don't care i bet you'd have your mother's smile i see you have my messy hair i know I'm too young to be a dad but I'd have tried my best it wouldn't have been all that bad i think you'd be impressed i don't have all the answers, i can't tell you why i never got to say "hello" and you never said "goodbye" let's just stay here a little longer i promise that a little later i'll be a little stronger
