Time keeps going past.
Questions about before hurt deeply.
Can’t you see you’re my everything?
Anger flares, tears fall.
I doubt myself when I know I shouldn’t.
Can’t you see you filled a hole?
Struggles on both sides.
Words said that shouldn’t be.
Can’t you see my pain?
A longing for years gone by.
Nostalgia creeping in.
Can’t you envision it?
A snuggle.
A laugh.
Mommy’s little boy.
Can you see him?
I adore him.
He makes me proud.
Can you understand?
He’s growing into a man.
He’s gaining his own mind and opinions.
Can you hear him?
I need more time.
I need more understanding, more cooperation.
Can you try?
Make time slow down.
Please son?
I still need you.
Remember I chose you.
And I know you need me.
