Before we had begun to speak, I held your hand.

Before we had begun to learn, making gifts was our main concern,

Before we had begun to make friends, it was just us playing in the sand.

Before we had begun to learn of the cruel world, we’ve already seen the lands,

Before we had begun to take the next step into our lives, we had created a promiseland,

And before I had begun to die, you were finally able to stand,

Stand alone.

I always held your hand,

Even if you won’t remember me, in the end.
