I am Sorry, Child

Honey I'd give you a hug,
but you are so very far away from me,
Years I have waited so patiently,
for you to return,
for you to finally learn,
that you are not alone any more.

I remember those days
when you were hidden away
'cause you were too scared to be in the sun.
You would burn every time
But you were still the last one on my mind.

And I am sorry child - no one was there with you,
No brothers, No Sisters, No cousins, No friends...
And nothing to do.
It was you alone; everyone was depressingly blind.
I remember those times,
but you were still the last one on my mind.

I have thought of you every day since
Everytime I look at you in my eyes
I wonder where you went.
