A daughter can carry love for her mother without surrendering her own story.
The Love I Carry for You is a deeply personal song about unconditional love, different memories, healing, and the courage to honor two stories at the same time.
The song speaks from a daughter to her mother with tenderness and truth. Love remains present even across silence, distance, sorrow, and memories that may never be shared in the same way.
At the heart of the song is a simple understanding: loving another person does not require losing yourself.
Two hearts can remember differently.
Two lives can carry different pain.
Two stories can still be true.
The Love I Carry for You also follows the journey toward self-love—the realization that the same unconditional love given so freely to others can finally be received within.

The **What Portal Would You Walk Through? Whole Brand Tee** brings the many worlds of Made With Love by Margaret Mary™ together in one wonderfully curious design.
The front asks the only important question:
**What Portal Would You Walk Through?**
*(See back for choices, lol.)*
Then the back reveals the possibilities — a collection of the worlds, stories, music, laughter, mystery, remembrance, and imagination that have grown beneath the Made With Love by Margaret Mary™ umbrella.
Will you follow the rose?
Step into the music?
Wander into the Dreamscape?
Choose laughter and mischief?
Enter The Vampire Mates Universe™?
Or find yourself drawn toward a doorway you did not expect?
There is no wrong answer.
Choose the portal that calls to you.
Or choose all of them.
We are not judging.
Finished with a radiant golden star on the sleeve and Made With Love by Margaret Mary™ branding, this black tee was created for dreamers, readers, music lovers, portal wanderers, collectors, and anyone who has ever looked at an ordinary doorway and wondered what might be waiting on the other side.

The Love I Carry for You
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Two hearts
Two lives
Two stories can still be true
I do not need to lose myself
To keep loving you
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear you
I love you
But I must hear myself too
Speaking my story never meant
I stopped loving you
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Breakdown — Soft, Intimate]
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
[Final Chorus — Full Emotional Lift]
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
[Outro — Soft]
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
The Story Behind the Song
The Love I Carry for You
“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. Two people can live through the same years, share the same moments, and still carry 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 own truth might cost me love. Eventually, my own story needed a voice too.
Through that journey, I began to understand that I do not have to erase my memories in order to honor someone else’s memories. My mother’s story belongs to her, and my story belongs to me.
Love does not require either person to disappear.
I can love my mother while also learning to hear my own voice. I can acknowledge her pain without denying my own. I can love myself with the same unconditional love I have spent so much of my life giving to others.
“The Love I Carry for You” is not a demand for agreement, an apology for existing, or an attempt to force reconciliation. The song is simply a place where love can remain without judgment, pressure, or expectation.
Even across silence.
Even across distance.
Love can remain.
And perhaps the greatest realization within this song is that loving someone else and loving myself do not have to compete.
Loving you and loving me
can live inside the same heartbeat.
With love always,
~Sarionae
