For forever,
Perfect daughter,
I keep you in my mind,
And wonder,
What would I do without you?

It's already too painful,
The old you fading,
From memory,
I could long for death,
Just to see it all again,
One last time,
You flashing before my eyes,
My little baby.

But there is more ahead,
More of you,
So I will wait,
Because I don't want to miss,
The whole story.

Every ending is a tragedy,
But there is happiness along the way,
I wouldn't deprive you of any.

I won't forget you,
That's my responsibility now,
Not to myself,
My life is yours,
Though you'll never know it.

I am second to only one,
An unbearable weight.
Measured by time passing.

I can't promise no pain,
But I'll promise one thing,
I'll go wherever you go,
Protect you when I can,
And share it when I can't.

You'll never be alone,
Unless we're alone together.

You can't understand,
What I feel,
When I hold you close.
Something deep,
Bottomless.

When you're with me,
I fall into it,
Surrounded,
Breathing you,

My whole world,
Everything before was nothing,
And after, everything.
