If only I could hold you. If only I could sit in the quiet of the night and gaze upon your face. If only I could hear your little snores and coos. If only I could linger and hold you forever. If only I could hear the mum mum, mom, mother. If only I could still dream of everything that could be. If only I could know you as the woman you became. If only I knew that I would never again be able to hold you, I would hold you and not let go.
