Since I can remember, it was only the two of us.

But still, we were happy.

We didn't have much, but we had each other

we smiled at the simplest things.

One thing that I wished upon a falling star was that 

I could be her strength 

I wanted to be the reason for her laugh

I wanted to be there for her when she is weak

I wanted to shower her with love, 

like how she showed me how it feels to be loved. 

I will make sure that she feels loved,

and that she is never lonely.


It was a pure bliss..

Just holding each others hand and walking with her..

Just the feeling of warmth when our hands tangled,

and that little conversation when we took a walk

 in the spring breeze..

They were perfect.

We don't have a  fancy house, pretty clothes,

and I never wanted all those wonderful toys.

Just those simple things we did were enough for me..

Just to smile

But the six years old me didn't realize

that all those things were perfect in my eyes weren't enough for her.

That mom was longing for something else

that all those times she wasn't happy

that she did not feel complete

that she wanted something more

that I couldn't give her

that  I

wasn't enough for her

"A perfect home..."

"A real man to protect her..."

"A complete family..."

She let go of my hand without a second thought

and ran without looking back

leaving me behind..
