These are the last words you'll hear from the man who loved you with all of his heart

I wish it was wintertime
I could hold you for warmth
With the dead leaves underfoot
I'd hear you walking away

You owned every inch of me.
Like a baby, I learned everything.
You were there watching me crawl.
I took my first steps, you were proud.
I spoke my first words to you, "I love you."
Then, with you, I died alone.

I grew up fast under your care, into this body which is now a man.
You fed me with love and kindness.
You fed me with lies and broken promises.
Together we discovered ourselves and each other.
I am grateful for it all, but now...alone.

I'd like to thank you for what you gave me.
But all I have now is my memory.
What you couldn't take.
What you couldn't take.
