Tears blur my vision, as I think of what's yet to come
The fear of a tomorrow that might never be
Living each day like it's my closing ceremony
But yet hopeful that better days are yet to come
I feel your spirit roam around me and I soon understand
You are waiting for me to forgive myself
I apologize, my little love, I was too young to understand
I wasn't ready for the love that I knew you deserved
Maybe that's why I am now so scared of living
I stole a life that was yet to be
You only wanted me to protect you from this ugly world
But I was the one you needed protection from
I know you have forgiven me
But what will it take to forgive myself
Was my decision a selfish one
I struggled with putting myself first for so long
But when I finally did it was the wrong time
Aww my dear daughter
Forgive your foolish mother, she was nothing but just a child
If I could hold you in my arms, you would feel the guilt crawling on my skin
I dare to open my eyes as reality is quite hopeful
But who am I to be of good cheer when I failed to give you that life
Stole your breath before you even took it
I knew no better but to mourn your death in my sleep
I promise in another lifetime, I will embrace you in the love I failed to give
I promise in another lifetime, I will take my last breath telling you how much I'm sorry
How much I love you today forever and more
But till then, I will take each day as it comes and cherish the memory of what never was
As I prepare to see you again my dear daughter
