I love you.

Little boy, do I love you.

The present looking back to past.

You've done your best.

And because of you I am.

It hurts, I know.

But I'm hopeful that someday we'll see some high tides.

Ride on down those big waves like the rollercoasters we love.

Those dizzying heights.

The rush of adrenaline.

Something promised to us again and again.

That one day we'll have something our heart has been dreaming of.

We'll work our way up to the top.

So, here's at least one thing you can trust.

It takes you and me to make us.

There's a ladder just for us to get above this.

Even if we have to stretch so far our bones break.

There will be many days you've had enough.

Stuck underwater 'til your face turns blue.

You're just tryin' to win.

You don't always have to be tough.

We'll see many ups and downs.

Yet there's always room for us at the top.

Though you may not know me, little boy.

I'm with you I promise.

Wondering if one day I'll get to give you that hug you need.

I'll be there.

Boy, I swear.
