     I opened my eyes that morning to find myself in my bed. I started to remember what happened last night. As if I can still feel him, I raised my hands to my lips. I get up and walk to the bathroom to see my reflection. I am smiling like a goof ball, but I look happy.  Memories of last night are swirling in my head; the way he felt while holding me, the look in his eyes before he kissed me. I felt so safe and cherished. The way he acted with me last night, it was like I could feel how he felt about me. It was too soon for him to love me though, wasn't it? I haven't been held like that in so long. 

     Lyric's father did a number on me mentally. He was another reason why I had stayed single all these years. I was scared of getting hurt and I didn't want to feel that again so I threw all my devotion, love and time onto raising my daughter. The memories of him leaving were still there. I had known him since middle school. He was wild and adventurous. That was one of the things I loved about him. He made me feel free. He had plans to travel the world and wanted me to go. Then, I got pregnant. I think he tried to do the right thing, but his dream was too strong. Being a father made him feel held down and he was starting to resent us. So I told him I wouldn't  stop him if he wanted to go, but on one condition: Once he left, he stays gone. He was to forget that he had us. I refused to hurt my baby with a father who couldn't stay in her life, better yet blame us for ruining his dream. He left shortly after, as if he didn't need to think about it. That proved to me what was more important to him.  He almost broke me. Lyric knows about her father. I refuse to lie to my daughter. I explained to her the first time she asked about him. She hasn't brought him up since. She seems content with the people in her life. 

     Shaking my head of the memory, I proceed in getting dressed for the day. Since I feel so great, thanks to Mr. Kim Namjoon, I decided to dress nicely.
