One day the memory of you will fade away and my heart will be grateful for that- because I can’t move on to a new love story until I stop dreaming of you until I stop writing about you It wouldn’t be fair to me or to him to attempt to write a new love story when remnants of the old one still show up in my poetry
let’s forget our past love stories and focus on the one we’re living the one we’re still writing let’s agree that anyone before you, anyone before me were just practice for the honest and magical love we’re experiencing let’s focus on our present and start planning our future that’s waiting to be lived that’s waiting to be written
you burned down my impenetrable wall with your kisses, with your caresses with your honesty, with your authenticity and while I’m terrified that one day you’ll leave I’m reminded every day you’re not temporary fantasy by never feeding me bullshit promises by never avoiding conflict by never treating me like a princess And by always inspiring me and evolving along with me
My son holds the universe in his eyes with his potential, with his sense of wonder his eyes are not yet jaded by the inhumanity of this world and I dread when the day comes as his innocence starts to fade
In the beginning, it was just me and you – and it was hard making sense of being a mom the heavy weight of caring for another human felt like it was going to crush me at times and I tried my best with my lack of knowledge with my lack of judgment so your lullabies were the goo goo dolls and sugar ray and your bedtime stories were stephen king and cosmo the pediatrician did tell me to read to you- at 17, I thought he meant anything at 17, I was far from June Cleaver and I felt so inept at times and while other moms read parenting books on how to become mommy dearest I focused on school books to graduate from high school so we’d have a fighting chance so while you never had a typical mom you still lucked out with a mom who’ll always fill you up with love and strength a mom who’ll always have your back
Fui una estúpida al pensar que tu serias algo diferente alguien que se quedarÃa pero repetà el mismo error enamorarme de otro hombre confundido enamorarme de potencial y cerrar los ojos a la realidad esto me pasa por seguir creyendo en cuentos de hadas donde el prÃncipe salva a la princesa donde el prÃncipe se queda para siempre y no se va cuando le da la gana
