The Ultimate Price
The Ultimate Price
At seventeen I had to leave
although you didn't know .
You were so young , though
I wanted to hit the road .
I wasn't allowed to be near you ,
even to watch you grow .
It hurts my heart to have missed out ,
so much was just not told .
At nineteen ,in trouble I was and told to stay away .
I wanted you to be a part of my life , because of
my troubles I had to stay away.
I lost out on knowing you , you knowing me .
Just know I'm proud of who you have become .
I've always loved you then ,now .
I've Paid The Ultimate Price .
