To Mother

You know, I loved you.
I love you still.
Despite the selfishness and irresponsibility.
Despite the lack of support.
Despite the moments you make me feel pathetic.
I love you.
I would die for you.
Would you care?
No.
You'd carry on with life as if though nothing happened.
You'd make more memories and more friends.
You'd not mourn.
You'd not regret.
You'd still act oblivious to any change.
Yet even so,
I'd continue to love.
I'd continue to forgive.
And I'd continue to forget,
Much like a child should.
