I can give you love
But I can't make you love me.
I can be your best friend
But I can't make you confide in me.
I can hope that you are safe
But I can't keep you from harm.
I can try to help you through hard times
But I can't make you accept criticism.
I can help you realize your dreams
But I can't make you grow.
I can bare you children
But I can't make you be a father.
I can dream of a life with you
But I know when it is time to let you go.
