Him: I held her in my arms feeding her when it dawned on me, she won't be like this forever. She won't be able to fit into the crook of my arm when i hold her anymore. She is gonna grow up and she won't need me anymore. All i have is right now. This is the only time i will understand why she cries or fusses with me. I am scared because she is gonna grow up too fast. Be like the girls with all that make up. I'm not ready. Where is all the time gonna go. Please god, don't let her not need me anymore. I want to be there for her always. The shoulder she cries on when her heart gets broken. I want her to trust me. The way her mother trusts me.
Her: he looks like he doesn't know what to do...he is holding her but lost in thought. He is so beautiful like that. She looks just like him. From her head to her toes. Even the way she sleeps is just like him. The way she holds herself is so funny. She laughs just like him and i am scared that i won't be as close as they will be. I see so much of him in her and all i want is to know her how i know him. I want her to let me show her how to be a woman. How to dress up and never let a man disrespect her. I want to know her the way i know her father. The way he knows me.
