Angel

We never met, we never knew each other

Although, I wish we did

Yet we were bound together, by the very fabric of life

That could hold two beings as close as possible

I loved you even without knowing you

I know you did the same.

I was once alone,

Crushing under the burden of duty to others

Overwhelmed by the complexities of relationships

Struggling to find a meaning

To whom I'm suppose to be

Everything I did, I wasn't good enough

Everything I was, I felt unsure

Eventually, I felt no more...

Then you came along.

With your brief existence in me,

You thought me to love

I began to feel again

Felt such tremendous joy

That I did not know was ever possible

Colors of spring were never brighter,

Sound of music was never so melodious

You changed something in me forever

For the first time,

I began to love

Myself and YOU.

Nothing will ever change,

Even though you’re gone

I will forever be in love with you

I will forever be your mom.
