The SWEETEST Choice

 

by MeMe

 

 

 

 

A long time ago I was little like you

 

I looked at everything from the middle

 

I was not tall

 

I was not old

 

I was not grown up

 

I was like you are now

 

Now, well, . . .  I am all grown up.

 

It is sad really and sort of predictable, which is something I did not predict. :)

 

I was in your room this morning waking you up for another day of school.

 

Last night was Halloween.

 

You dressed up like a ballerina.

 

I let you wear make up.

 

Your eyelashes are SO LONG!

 

 

 

I tickled your cheek with my fingers so the morning wouldn't hurt so much.

 

I could feel the warm of night still in your skin.

 

I breathed in with my heart and closed my eyes.

 

You are still little

 

I don't want you to wear make up.

 

I don't want you to grow up.

 

I don't want to have you ever look past

 

MIDDLE

 

I want to save you.

 

All for myself like a pillowcase of Halloween candy

 

hiding, hiding, hiding...you away from the world

 

and keeping you all to myself

 

Mother greed

 

An allowance divine

 

You are mine.

 

 

 

I chose you.

 

 

 

 

This week I had a choice to make

 

I want you to know

 

ALWAYS KNOW

 

I chose you.

 

I will ALWAYS choose you.

 

You are my favorite piece of sweetness

 

on this whole planet.

 

So

 

I

 

Picked

 

Y.O.U.
