PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My son is the type to ask questions,

He's curious and I was afraid of that,

He askes me,"Why do you and mom live seperately"

It's in those kinds of moments where

context is king and the timing has to be right,

I fumble around a few things saying that

we were different people and not everyone

you meet is who you should live with

or be friends with,

Every girl I invite into my life is another

constant concern,

"Where did 'that one girl' go?"

or

"Will you ever see her again"

I will more than likely but it'll

be as if we never even met,

These are concerns I have

about being a role model and playing

the dating game,

I have someone who is soaking me up,

Every inch,

And this too will resonate in the future,

I want him to know that life isn't

about doing things right the first time,

It's about diving in head first and

when you come out of it

what sticks,

The conversations are brief but never far apart

and with a look of bewilderment I have to say

"You'll have time to figure this all out when you grow up"
