even though

Even though I am always here,
you must make it on your own.
I admire you in strength,
and I’ve seen how much you’ve grown.

Even though I will never leave you,
you must learn to be free.
An independent heart you need,
you must live in spite of me.

Even though you mean to me,
what no one ever will.
Only you can change your life,
it’s the void that you must fill.
