I could've honestly lived a lifetime

Without ever knowing about your son.

I'm so sorry,but I guess I'm just scared,

And don't want anything or anyone

To come between what we have now;

Not your past or my past, or what the future may hold.

But I guess these things aren't in my hands,

Or in anyone else's, or so I'm told.



And my soul feels squeezed between your child and your dreams,

And I can't help but feel you've lived a whole life before me,

And I fear that,someday,you'll live a new life without me,

And I am just something in between.



And I'm scared it can't be just you and me,

Knowing that you have a family.

Do we share you equally;

While I can give you all of me?



But I fear I'll never have all of you,

And it kind of kills me to feel that's true.

But I'll still thankfully take

All that you can give,

And I hope I can keep it

For as long

As I live.
