I know youll come back to me

She bit her nail and closed her eyes
Trying to keep the excitement low.
Today she would be together with him.
And she couldn’t wait to go.

Her mommy had tried to tell her
That she probably should stay home.
Because she wasn’t pleased her daughter
Would spend this evening on her own.

But the girl was not afraid.
She knew just what to say
What to tell her boyfriend
Of why she was so happy today.

But still her mother worried
For her to face this thing alone
And that was why she once again
Tried to keep her daughter home.

The little girl went to his place
Eager to tell him the news
About a family portrait in her head.
About a person she don’t want to lose.

Smiling, with a finger on his doorbell
She saw his face in her head
Then he showed up in the door
Looking miserable and sad

She didn’t noticed the blue look
And kissed him right away
She breathed deep and started to speak
All the words that she had to say

One by one the words came out
Together telling him the truth
About a little unexpected baby
Inside the stomach of a youth.

-------------------------------ll---------------------------

At a meeting in the city
Sat a girl only seventeen
Holding up her little baby
With other mommies in between.

One by one the leader called
Each mom and dad in the theme
To introduce themselves
How crushed they may would seem.

At last the leader called her name
Everyone turned to stare
All of them was searching
For a man who wasn’t there.

Where’s the baby’s father at?
She heard a man ask out.
“She probably doesn’t know who he is”
another woman dared to shout.

And from somewhere near the back
She heard a mother say
“looks like another tired dad
To busy to waste his day.”

Their words did sure offend her
And she looked back to the mom
Then looked up at the leader
Who told her to go on.

And with hands folded in her lap
She slowly began to speak
And out from the mouth of a child
came words incredibly unique.

My boyfriend couldn’t be here
Because he had to move away.
But if he could he would been here
Cause this is such s special day.

And though you cannot meet him
I want you all to know
All about my boyfriend
And how I love him so.

He used to make me smile
He thought me how to love
He made my life feel so adorable
Like cut out from below.

We used to share our lollypops.
And ice cream in a cone.
And though we had all this good things
I know now that I’m alone.

Cause he moved so far, far away
He will always be in my heart
But though he is the dad of my child
We have to be apart.

And from somewhere here in the crowd of parents
The impolite mother stood in tears
Looking down at a girl
Who each night awoke from mares.

The girl stood up for the love
Of a boy no longer in her life
Making everything sounding as it was
Cause now nothing was alright.

And when she dropped her hand back down,
staring straight into the crowd.
She finished with a voice so soft,
but its message clear and loud;

“I love my boyfriend very much
He was my shining star
And I know that he would have hold my hand
But Spain is just too far.

You see his mom got an disease
And had to move to a warm place
And though It’s been two months since I saw him
I still remember his face.

And sometimes when I close my eyes
It’s like he never went away”
And then she shut her eyes
And saw him there that day.

And to the leader’s amazement
He witnessed in surprise
A crowd full of dads and moms
All starting to close their eyes

Who knows what they saw before them,
who knows what they felt inside.
Perhaps for merely a second,
they saw him at her side.

“ I know you’ll come back to me"
To the silence she whispered out.
With a voice so sad and destroyed
But with no such thing as doubt.
