Who will be me?

By Kiara Durve 

Who will give her cute nicknames to annoy her?
Who will tickle her until she screams and kicks her legs in the air?
Who will talk to her about the boys she likes?
Who will watch movies with her?
Who will make her feel like she is also a princess?
Who will teach her how to dress up like one?
Who will want to make her happy? 

Who will protect her when they all come at her?
Who will help her be the best she can for herself?
Who will stand by her and stand up for her? 
Who will step in front of her and take the hit?
Who will stop her from calling herself those names?
Who will save her? 

 Who will give her so many kisses that she never has to ask for one?
Who will buy her the things she doesn't ask for?
Who will hold her when she sleeps?
Who will give up what they love because she loves it too?
Who will she go to when she wants to be alone? 
Who will she complain to when things get rough? 
Who will wipe her tears before wiping theirs?
Who will put her first?

Who will kiss her on the forehead when she sleeps?
Who will give her a tight hug when she is tired?
Who will take her out to make her forget the reality?
Who will be her hope to one day have a home? 
Who will love her without any reason? 

Who will wear funny clothes to match with her? 
Who will act like a child to make her feel cool?
Who will accept her for who she is and nothing more?
Who will cheer the loudest when she is performing? 
Who will go with her to places that she loves to go? 
Who will want her to be her?  

Who will feed her when she is pretending to be full?
Who will get through to her when she is angry? 
Who will fight with her so she doesn't have to fight later?
Who will give her a flying kiss every time she goes out? 
Who will she run to when she is home? 
Who will listen to her without her having to speak? 
Who will understand her? 

Who will cry with her when she is sad? 
Who will laugh with her when she makes silly mistakes?
Who will teach her when she doesn't know something? 
Who will be her pillow when she needs one? 
Who will play games with her when she is bored? 
Who will do the silliest things to make her smile just once? 

Who will say 'I love you' to her every hour everyday?
Who will she look up to when she has to? 
Who will admire each of her phases?
Who will take those memories?
Who will store them for when she grows?
Who will tell her those stories? 
Who will be there to say sorry?

Who will be her friend when she has none? 
Who will be ready to do what they have to for her? 
Who will love her like I do? 
Who will be me when I can't?
