Babies

Dear, Wren

Something about the way you loved babies, I found it absolutely adorable. I remember when I first met you, you were a uni student that watched kids on the weekend.

I remember the first time you invited me over to your flat, you were watching a two year old and an eleven year old. You wouldn't stop baby talking the two of them.

When the baby started crying and you couldn't figure out how to make them stop you started crying as well, you always were one of those people that would cry out of frustration.

I ran over and hugged you, it was the first time I felt my heart skip a beat. The first time I felt what people called butterflies. Not the first time I fell in love, no. It was the first time I found someone that made me feel something stronger than love.

After I comforted you, you started making faces. You made that baby laugh for hours I was scared it was gonna die from lack of air, you always loved making people laugh - especially babies.

When the parents came and got their children, you got paid and they left. You turned to me and said.

"I want kids of my own one day"

I smiled at you and said.

"You'd be a great mother"

Then you smiled after that one sentence, it seemed to light up my whole week. Maybe I want kids of my own someday too.

Love, Wilbur
