I feared life would end
And that I'd hate you for taking it from me
I'd be up all night, resenting you
Despising you for making me
Give up what I could be
All for someone who doesn't yet appreciate
What I went through for you
But even through the nine months
And trust me, they weren't easy months
Past the falling, the discomfort
Even though I miss sleeping,
I've never known love
I thought love was a feeling
But it's not
It's a sacrifice
It's giving you all of me
Knowing you have nothing to give back
It's enjoying the time I spend with you
Even if I've gotten no sleep
And I've spent the day chasing everyone around
It's knowing I made you
It changed me
I remember the searing pains of labor
And me crying during the contractions
I remember the pressure of you saying, "I'm ready"
And pushing, trying not to tear up
I remember them putting you in my arms
And me falling in love with an unknowing child
Finding that I'm happiest with I'm with you
The world can crumble, but I'll find peace
Knowing you're still with me
And that's a strange feeling
It's amazing
