No Explanation, Part 2
I've asked myself
why do I let you stay
When you hurt me so
by lying and betraying me.
And I lost my son
because of that.
But there is no
simple explanation.
You have been
the best thing
in my life for
three years now.
You are the
best part of
who I am.
I wonder if
you are safe
when I am
away from you.
I want to hold you
in my arms
and know that
you are alright.
No other has
touched me
the way that
you have.
So I want to
keep you near
to protect you,
love you and
to be loved by you,
Forever.
