Never Forget About Me

As the days turn to years and the now becomes the then of the past I watch you blossom and become the person you were always meant to be My head spins as i think of our life and realize its all gone much to fast The babe I once held no longer seems to truly even need me Have I done what was right have i stumbled or failed Did I nuture the soul of this free thinking human being Some days I miss the way you would cry the sound you once wailed the memorys that had been so strong are now spotty and fleeting I wonder if you'll ever know what you meant to me how hard i tried now a days you wont talk to me we used to be best friends I was there when you laughed when you screamed and cried A cold teenage shoulder cant be the way this ends Even now I think i need you more than you ever needed me Without your life i would not know what it means to live Someday you'll find out just how i did then i know you'll see love is not something you take its a gift you must give All the times i thought i couldn't be the person I had to become A father a teacher a man just struggling to do what seems right All the trials ups and downs i don't how i didn't break and succumb A child myself when i first saw your eyes on that frightening night You taught me so much did i give you the lessons to find your way Did i strengthen your soul enough for you to conquer your fear I know its time for you to go but something inside says wait please stay I know your not my babe any longer but ill always want you so close and so near As we say goodbye i realize now you've been my strength and my rock It was you not I that brought this love free of blame no condition May life be kind to you but call me sometime i need to just talk you changed my heart my life my soul iv e been wrong by my own admission You are the best of everything in me A testament to life a promise of love I'm am you but you are not me i hope you find happiness and a way to be free My precious child my sweet gift from above I love you so much please before you leave sware you'll never forget about me
