Maternal

I fell in love with you both from the first moment I saw you You were both so full of life, although his was brand new You had such confidence While he was still learning how to be in existence You made promises; such beautiful words you spoke In his amazing smiles my heart awoke Was it all too fast? Is that why it wasn’t meant to last? I thought I had put my dreams on hold Or was the real dream the one he told? Without you, he would not be For that, you will always mean everything to me A greater gift you could not have given Perhaps our road just wasn’t properly driven Our destination was the gift But our path, created the rift Why did I put so much pressure on you? You’re only human, doing your best to be true He was perfect in my eyes Even through his cries I accepted him for who he was But you, I chose to judge So different love can be Between a mother and son, or you and me
