Simple Love

I'm not lucky in love, let's be honest.

Truth be told, I'm sort of the dumbest.

I've never felt 'True Love at First Sight'

At least not before today, I should say.

Then this normal day changed my life.

He was the last one to be born, the smallest.

We weren't sure if he would actually survive.

One look and I knew he had to live

I was determined to make sure he did just that.

All my time and heart went to him.

I made sure he was clean, fed, and warm.

I spent time with him, interacted with him, played with him.

Sometimes I even simply watched him sleep.

Yes, I know that makes me sound like a creep

But, he was mine, and I was paranoid that I would loose him.

Finally, after weeks, I knew I'd won.

He had my heart and would live greatly.

Every look he gave was so beautiful and saintly.

I couldn't actually believe I was blessed with him.

That boy didn't know how much he truly meant to me.

Loved me and made my soul light up like a bright new day sun.

My life was perfect, for a while.

He would always follow me, hug me, and just want to be around me.

Sometimes it got annoying, but I still did what he wanted.

I'd love him more, smile, and stare at his beautiful smile.

He always filled me with joy when he smiled.

Two years later, Hell came and took him, in style.

No choice, or way to fight for this one.

His pain was mine, his slow heartbeat stabbed me every time.

He shallow breath hit my stomach like a baseball bat.

Letting him go was the best thing for him.

It was the worst for me, but I'd always put him first.

This was no different, and this time I'd need to be even stronger.

I held him as he left the world, and my true love ran up the stairway to heaven.
