You Made Me What I Am

Disclaimers: I do not own final Fantasy Eight. Wish I did. But I don't.

If only you'd been around

I wouldn't be like this

I would have known my mother

And you, my father

I blame myself, that Mom is gone

If it weren't for me, she'd still be here

You left her when she needed you most

You made me what I am

---

People avoided me because of the way I am

But you made me like this

I'm nothing like you

Am I like Mom?

You would know that

Because you're my dad

I know you a bit better because of certain events

Ellone helped me understand what you are about

Fun, games and excitement

I possess none of those traits

You made me what I am

---

If only things hadn't been like this

Would I have been different if you stayed?

I guess we'll never find out

You can't change the past

And the future?

Rinoa told me you can't predict it

But I'm willing to try

I never knew you very well

And Mom? I knew never

"Whatever" may happen

"Whatever" may change

But I have to know you

Because you're a part of my life

The one I should have had

You made me what I am

---

Things may become difficult

I felt like you abandoned me

You never knew I existed

Like I wasn't even there

You're trying to fix things

Things you can't change

I can't say "I love you"

About you or Mom

Because I never knew you

Either of you

I can't say things will be easy

But I can say I'll try

To be the son you wanted

But that's all I can do

I have responsibilities like you do

So we can't spend time together

But I'll make the effort

If you do the same

You made me what I am

---

You made me and I thank you

But environments made me like this

Not knowing my parents

I said I had no family

But now I find I have one

I'm not the best person to be your son

But blood is thicker than water

I have accepted that fact

If only you knew me

Like I want to know you

We'll try this thing out

Like fathers and sons do

If it doesn't work, I'll still be your son

No matter what

You made me what I am

You made me
