"I know I said he wanted to leave,
Honestly, I should admit I liedI told him to leave."
"But..
Mama,
why?"
" Because, when you love someone,
with every beat of your heart,
with every breath that you take,
and every bone in your body,
you really learn something..."
" And,
What's that,
Mama?"
" You learn sometimes,
in order to keep them
safe and happy,
you have to let go of people.
Sometimes, goodbye's can be good.
"But, Mama,
Didn't it hurt?
Didn't you ever miss him?"
" Oh baby girl,
Of course I miss him,
Sometimes, I do dream of what could've happened.
But I said goodbye to him.
For you.
So my baby girl,
Could have the best life in the whole world,
He couldn't give you that.
Heck,
he couldn't even love me.
Baby girl,
All I ever wanted to
give you was perfectness.
Because that's what you deserve.
I just wanted you to have that,
Picture perfect life, you always wanted.
.... I'm so sorry I couldn't give it to you."
