You never even got the chance.
Little one, you were supposed to be mine, supposed to grow and grow to emerge screaming, full of life in my arms.
I never even got the chance.
Little one, you'll never know how much you meant to me, how much you still mean to me, and how much you'll always mean to me even though we never met.
We never even got the chance.
