I wanted to bandage your wounded heart and erase the scars on your soul. I wanted to be your Easter, your New Year's, your Christmas and Valentine's all wrapped up in one. I wanted to mother you to make up for the mother you lost I wanted to love you to make up for the girls who didn't. I wanted to wrap you in joy, tie you in sparkling ribbon show you color and dimension you'd never seen before I wanted to give you laughter and tenderness I wanted to take away the bitterness I wanted to give you so much... maybe I didn't try hard enough to make you let me in, maybe nothing I did would have gotten me past the gate, but I will always feel an ache when I think of you alone, when I could have wrapped you in joy. |
