So sorry I wouldn't let this be

it feels wierd to see you smile every day

something in my heart wonders

are you really okay?

I wouldn't dare open my mouth

afraid I'll say something to make you upset

but someone who meant so much...

is it that easy to forget?

That poor girl who had to do things on her own

who searched for someone to hold her

but found no one when she was afraid

is that why you were so scared when you got older?

Did you cry a lot before?

Does it still hurt you now?

I wonder why you smile

and how?

Sometimes I wish I wasn't so harsh on you

is there anything I can do?

I'm afraid to ask but 

is it now me who is like a mother to you?

I want only one thing of you

smile, just smile

if you still need me

I'll stay a little while

I seem to forget

you're so much stronger

but if you need me now

I'll stay a little while longer
