Mom
Kyle Ernst 1978 (Ohio)
I don't know you.
I don't know you but you knew me at one time
You gave me up because you had too but you came by time and again to see me.
Then you stop. I don't know why I don't know why I don't care. I became a man and have this need all though I don't know why.
I don't know why
I don't know why someone would give up a little child.
I don't know if this makes me better then you. But I wouldn't give up mine. I don't know why but I for give.
I don't know why but I wish I knew you.
