All Grown Up

I deeply regret turning her away all those years ago. Time has come full circle, and she's unexpectedly back in my life. Our parents' brief relationship was the reason I initially pushed her away, and she pursued her dreams in the enchanting city of Paris, becoming a ballerina. Yet, fate brought her back here due to an unfortunate injury, offering me a second chance to mend what was broken. Now, seeing her grown and more beautiful than ever, she continues to capture my heart. However, I realize I mustn't stand in the way of her aspirations. With a heavy heart, I let her go, knowing it's what's best for both of us. But the loss feels immense, especially when she takes a piece of me with her – a secret, a part of our shared past that I'll always treasure. Never did I imagine she'd carry such a precious memory as a gift. My little one, forever etched in my soul.
