Wanting to see you smile was the only thing my heart desired. Wanting to make you understood this world, so nothing could ever harm you, was the only thing I could do to protect you. Wanting to see you survive, and live to experience all the good that this world could offer, was the only thing that mattered.Wanting you to be happy was my only goal. You're calling out my name again, and I have no choice but to turn back, and smile to see yours. You're in my arms, telling me you're so glad I'm here, and how if I were the only one in the world, you would be happy.
Darling, I'll be here. I'll stand with you, teach you, and help you all your way through life. When you fall off the slide, I'll be there. When you're scared of lightning, I'll sing you lullabies and hug you so tight you won't see or hear the scary sound of the thunder. I'll kiss your wounds, and make you snacks when you're sad. I'll try my best to be patient, and try my best to listen.
Darling, I'll still be here. When you're struggling with friends and love, emotionally, I'll be there to comfort you. When you run away, I'll be the one to chase after you. When you forget to call me, I'll be there panicking on whether you're fine or not. When you forget your lunch, I'll drive over and give it to you. When you're at your wits end about an assignment, I'll help you if you need me to--don't think I won't.
Darling, I'll still be there, even when you yell at me to go away. I'll still hold you in my arms and tell you I love you even after you stray from the path. If it's needed, I'll do everything in my power to stop you from hurting yourself. Because I care, dear, and I want you to be safe.
Darling, even when I'm mad, I still love you. Even when I scold you and prevent you from doing your plans, it's always out of love. Even if you tell me not to worry, there's no way I can't. When you stomp away, furious and hating me, I still love you.
Darling, even after you move away, I'll still be here, waiting. When you have problems, I'll be here to support you. When you get upset when I refuse to give in, Illl still be here. When you want me, Illl come. When you need me, Illl be there. When youlre in danger, Illl shield you with all I have just to save you.
Wanting to glimpse you grow into someone who will care for another is what I want to see. Wanting to know you love your child just as much as I loved you was a pleasure for me. Wanting you to understand that no matter what, darling, Ilm your mother. And as your mother, I will always love and protect you. Never doubt it.
Darling, don't you know? For you, dear, I would give up my heart and soul to protect.
