You Made Me What I Am
Disclaimers: I do not own final Fantasy Eight. Wish I did. But I don't.
Rinny Leonheart
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
