A part of you

I, a part of you
you, the whole of me

I, new to this worry
you, bearing it for years

I, smelling the love
you, drowning it in tears

I, leaving memories in toys
you, washing off the years

I, sipping the fear of losing
you, flying with it in your bones

I, blessed with your heart
you, the past on your chest

I, immune with your care
you, risking the waves

I, wishing it was you
you, in a blanket of dreams

I, smiling at the world
you, the lines on your face

I, a part of you
you, the whole of me
