our baby, and us Seraphim Collins

Look
at her Playing with her fuzzy stuffed animals She has your eyes and
amazingly enough she has my nose I look over to you and see that smile
The smile that speaks so clear to me It says contentment It says
happiness It says love To think I almost lost that smile To think I
almost lost this love To think I almost lost this beautiful baby girl I
remember a time when I thought I was a super hero The strong and never
vulnerable super human who can fix anything Until I couldn’t fix you I
couldn’t fix us I wasn’t as strong as I thought When we lost him We
had never even seen him He was small and hidden inside you When we lost
him I lost me I couldn’t fix this I couldn’t bring him back I
couldn’t fix this When I lost me I found her The other My secret I
don’t understand what happened But all the while I was wishing she was
you When you saw us You knew I knew you knew when we drove home Then
we connected Then you left Already our little one was inside you You
did it and I didn’t know You didn’t tell until I accidentally found out from
your secret admirer Who was soon to be your rebound Why her You could
have had anyone Why this particular person who you new I despised but still
You chose her Maybe that was why I hated her so you chose her You
did it to hurt me just as I had hurt you But I deserved it And she knew it
And she also through it in my face whenever she had the chance But who
could blame her Look who I had betrayed Look who I had hurt Look who I
had wronged and lost I remember the day you came to me and for the first time
we spoke You had an ultra sound You had invited me to see our baby Our
baby The first time I saw our little one I thought I could die of
pride She was so beautiful Then we connected And I left I remember
the day you walked back into our home and told me this is where it would
be This is where we would start our family This is the place our child
would arrive Here in our home I remember the night at the concert You
left to go to the bathroom I didn’t think anything of it Until one of our
friends came up to me “ Ummm I think your wife might need some help” I ran
I couldn’t bear the thought of something horrible happening to you or our
baby I took you home so we could welcome her Things didn’t go as
planned The nurse called the ambulance You felt like you failed us Me
and our girl You had never failed us It wasn’t long until I cut the
chord It wasn’t long until we held our baby Our baby Then we
connected And soon we went home Look at her Playing with her fuzzy
stuffed animals She has your eyes and amazingly enough she has my nose I
look over to you and see that smile The smile that speaks so clear to me
It says contentment It says happiness It says love | |
