My son

3yrs young when we met
19yrs your senior
Wasn’t before long she started seeing you as my junior.
Took me some time to see myself in you.
But you took to me like glue
I didn’t want to get involved
although I was selfish. I was also scared.
I didn’t want to fall in love with you and then abandon you.
As had been done to me.
You told me you love me first.
My heart burst
Caught off guard.
But you said it as though you had said it a million times
No big deal
I felt butterflies.
While she cried
By my side
Our bond even made her jealous at times
But really I could see the joy in her eyes
We held hands at the beach.
You gave me kisses on my cheek.
Asked me carry you
Wrestled. Fought. Punched each other
Boys will be boys
Played too much in public much the disdain of your mother
You stood by me during the lonliness
I didn’t ask.
Somehow you just knew.
You always knew.
You knew I loved her.
You knew you mattered.
You thought I mattered.
You knew I loved you.
Sought my attention
My approval
Constantly reminding of things I taught you
Me & her
You & her
Me & you
All 3 of us.
In the end the hardest part was leaving you
I may never see you again.
But I will be here always.
Whatever you need. Whenever you need.
Out the blue. Years away. I’ll be here.
For you.
I was supposed to raising you! Well,WE were supposed to raise you.
You were mine! All mine.
In my heart. Till the end of time.
