I'll Love You...
To My Son
🌹
I can imagine what you'd be like.
You'd stay looking sharp as a knife.
You'd have your Mom's eyes and my shaggy hair.
You'd be a lady's man, dropping jaws as you walked passed,
You'd choose to repair hearts, rather than break them; your Mom would be impressed.
I want what's best for you, better than I ever had,
I'll be there for you when you need me; I'm your only dad.
I know we'd bump heads every once in a while, but later everything would be settled with a warm, welcomed smile.
If you ever needed me all you'd have to do is dial.
You have no idea how hard it is to smile right now. I'm depressed because of your unplanned goodbye. No parent should live longer than their child.
I think to myself: Why couldn't I just change our fates & switch; I would take your place and die and you'd stay and start your own life.
Even though I wouldn't be there physically, I would always live on in your heart, never separated, torn, or removed.
With all my heart & soul, I lift my pinky towards yours and make a pinky promise to you.
"I will never leave you."
Three words will seal this love-bound contract.
I Love You...
🌹
