Sarionae“The Love I Carry for You” was written from one of the most personal places in my heart.
This song is about the love I carry for my mother, even though we do not always remember the past in the same way. Through that distance, I began to understand that two people can live through the same years and carry very different memories, emotions, and truths.
For much of my life, I believed that loving someone meant silencing parts of myself. I feared that speaking my truth might cost me love.
This song became my realization that I do not have to erase my own story in order to honor someone else’s. I can love my mother, hear my own voice, love myself fully, and still leave space for her story to be different from mine.
Two stories can still be true.
Loving you and loving me can live inside the same heartbeat.Lire la description complète du morceauRéduire la description du morceau

Two stories can still be true.
Loving you and loving me can live inside the same heartbeat.
We may not remember the same yesterday
We may not have felt every moment the same
There are pieces of mine you may never recall
And pieces of yours I did not see at all
But nothing between us could silence the truth
Of the love in my heart that still reaches for you
Through every distance, through everything we've been through
There has always been love I carry for you
Two hearts
Two lives
Two stories can still be true
I do not need to lose myself
To keep loving you
This is the love I carry for you
With every heartbeat, steady and true
You gave me this life
You gave me a beginning
And I'm finally learning to love the life I'm living
We may never remember everything the same
We may carry different sorrow, different pain
But nothing can take from my heart what I know
The love I carry for you will always be my own
I'm sorry my words ever broke your heart
I'm sorry I couldn't see every wound that was yours
There were pieces of your story I never understood
And years when I could not see the strength with which you stood
But Mom, there were pieces of my story too
A frightened little girl who needed someone to hear the truth
For too many years I swallowed every sound, every truth
Until the voice I had buried finally needed to be found
I hear you
I love you
But I must hear myself too
Speaking my story never meant
I stopped loving you
This is the love I carry for you
With every heartbeat, steady and true
You gave me this life
You gave me a beginning
And I'm finally learning to love the life I'm living
We may never remember everything the same
We may carry different sorrow, different pain
But nothing can take from my heart what I know
The love I carry for you will always be my own
For too long I silenced my own voice
Afraid that love would leave if I made another choice
I held myself away from every open hand
Because losing love was more than I could stand
I spent a lifetime giving love away
Never understanding I deserved that love the same
Now I can hold the child I used to be
And give her all the love she needed from me
I don't need you to surrender your memories
I don't need you to see the past through my eyes
Your story belongs to you
And mine belongs to me
Love does not require either one to disappear
You are still my mother
I am still your child
Even across the silence
Even across the miles
There is no door I'm forcing
No answer you must give
My love will simply wait here
While we both learn how to live
This is the love I carry for you
Not from who I was, but from who I've grown to be
You gave me this life
And now I'm finally seeing
That loving you and loving me
Can live inside the same heartbeat
We don't have to remember everything the same
Love does not ask us to erase each other’s pain
So wherever this road may carry you and I
There will always be a place in my heart
That carries love unconditionally for you
I am here
When you are ready
No judgment
No demand
Only the love
I've always carried
And Mom...
I'm finally ready
To receive love too
This song came from learning that love and truth do not have to cancel each other out.
Two people can live through the same years and carry different memories. I can honor my own story, love myself fully, and still carry love for someone whose story is different from mine.
“The Love I Carry for You” is for anyone learning that loving someone does not require losing yourself.
With love always,
