Confessions

Dearest,

We struggle sometimes with the choices we make,
I want something stable and you a fairy-tale,
Dearest one, I do my best now
To keep you safe and keep you from getting hurt
And I always over think and wonder if I could have helped
If I could have done anything to make it better for you.
You see someone you like, love, and you want them fully...
And I've kept you locked away for years, a stone so cold,
The best in marble, darker than death... I couldn't trust you to be yourself.
You've since carved your way out of that tomb
And now shine like the ruby you are!
I like it, darling, how you're so full of joy
And so happy about everything as if for the first time!
You're wonderful, and I still worry about you,
But for you, love, I'll spend nights awake
Making sure you won't get hurt again.
So love, dearest one, whomever you chose,
Be it the wind that ruffles your feathers,
The boy down the street who's smile warms your core,
The terrible weather that comes with the season,
Or the friends you have lost for my reasons.
Love whom you want, darling, and be as free as you'd like
I'm done standing in your way, dear, do as you please
As long as you make me the tiniest promise:
Smile as wide as you can, and love without fear,
And trust me, darling, I'll watch out for you from up here,
Where I can see what comes near.
It's gonna be okay, darling one...
As of now, your new life has begun.

Love Always,
