Soon after we met
You became a constant.
Through the ebbs and flows of my life
You proved yourself steady and true.
You were my moon –
Always present, always a light,
A beautiful glow illuminating my path.
We accepted and loved each other for
Who we were born to be.
Safe to be ourselves.
Then we grew from two to three.
Blessed with our baby girl.
I was changed.
She was my sun.
Her light shone brighter than yours.
It warmed me and awakened
A part of me that must have been
Lying dormant inside.
Her light was blinding.
I stared at the sun and all I could see
was her.
Even in the darkness and when I closed
my eyes,
It was just her I could see.
She filled my thoughts, my days, my
dreams.
I basked in the warmth of her light.
She created a happiness, a euphoric
state
Within me.
Like the Earth relies on the sun to
carry life,
I needed her and I knew I would never
Be the same.
I looked back at you,
Shadowed by her powerful blaze
And even though I felt your
gravitational pull
Towards me,
For the first time,
I felt like
I didn’t need you.
But, I want you to know that I was
wrong.
The sun’s heat can be overwhelming,
Burning,
Too much for one person to handle.
I need the cooling constant glow of
My moon to comfort me.
In the night and the darkness of my
mind,
Only the moon’s reflective calming
light,
Can bring me peace.
What a sad world it would be
To no longer witness the beauty of the
moon.
My world would be sad without you.
Right now you may feel eclipsed
By the light our daughter has brought
To my life.
Please know your presence is always felt,
Needed,
Wanted,
Illuminating.
