How could I ever tell the rest of the world about my angel?
How could you possibly understand the way I loved that little girl?
You'll never know how it felt to hold her for hours,
the way she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed my cheek,
The simple way we loved each other
Without words getting in the way.
Hearing her little heartbeat was the best feeling in the world.
You'll never know how it felt to laugh with this beautiful girl and to hear her laugh.
It was the prettiest music,
The kind of sound that makes you warm inside.
Her smile is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen,
The kind of smile that makes you smile back.
You'll never know how much she means to me.
You weren't there.
You didn't know her.
How could you ever know the way it felt to say goodbye?
I saw her dark brown eyes smiling up at me,
Because she didn't know.
This was goodbye.
She won't even remember this moment.
She'll grow up, and forget me.
But even her voice is a permanent memory.
I could never forget someone so perfect,
Angelic.
I wanted years
and somehow,
I had to be okay with 30 seconds.
Barely enough time to blink.
I picked her up for the last time,
Crying all over her shirt as if I was the child,
Clinging to her
In agonizing desperation.
Nothing but tears between us,
Soon their would be an ocean.
30 seconds was gone.
It was time to leave her forever.
Everything in me was screaming to stay,
but I had to go.
I kissed her cheek and she put her little hand on my face
Goodbye,
My Niña Angelita
