I sat you down
Tried to find the words
Heart beating fast
Afraid I'd be unheard
Told you my truth
Watched your faces fall
In that quiet moment
I felt so small
Mama, you wiped
A tear but looked away
Dad, you stood silent
Like you didn't know what to say
I'm still the boy
Who ran to you for love
But now I wonder
If it's still enough
I just need your arms
Like I always have
The comfort of a mom
The strength of a dad
I'm still your son
No matter who I love
Still need your faith
Still need your trust
It's not a choice
It's who I am
I'm still the child
Who held your hands
All I'm asking
Is to feel enough
To have a place
In your unconditional love
I know it's not the dream
You had in mind
But love's not something
You can always define
I'm still the one
Who called you late at night
When life got heavy
And nothing felt right
Mama, I see the worry in your eyes
Dad, I hear the silence in your sighs
But I need you both to see me whole
Not just a label, but a heart and soul
I just need your arms
Like I always have
The comfort of a mom
The strength of a dad
I'm still your son
No matter who I love
Still need your faith
Still need your trust
It's not a choice
It's who I am
I'm still the child who held your hands
All I'm asking is to feel enough
To have a place in your unconditional love
I've fought the world
To be who I am
But losing you
Was never part of the plan
I don't need perfect
Just a little grace
A little light
In this familiar place
I just need your arms
Like I always have
The comfort of a mom
The strength of a dad
I'm still your son
No matter who I love
Still need your faith
Still need your trust
It's not a choice
It's who I am
I'm still the child
Who held your hands
All I'm asking
Is to feel enough
To have a place
In your unconditional love
Mama, Dad, I'm still your son
And all I want is your love
Just your love
