I am not here. I am not real. Yet I hold you gently. I caress your cheek and I listen to your cries. I dry your tears and whisper I love you. I kiss your face and hold you close.

I hold you in my lap, your head rests on my shoulder and your tears fall down my chest. Whether it be a scraped knee or a broken heart, I feel that pain with you.

You cannot hide anything from me. No matter if it's a wrongdoing or candy stuffed in your cheeks, I know. I don't always say so, but I know.

I have always loved you. You don't always love me back, but it's not your fault. I just hope that someday you'll return to my arms, whether it be a scraped knee or a broken heart, and you'll rest your head on my shoulder, and I'll hold you gently, and I'll listen.
