HEARTBEATS

Locket

It's the 24th time I've visited this park.

Each day silently praying that I'll see her.

Walking towards the playground, I felt a hard thud in my chest.

I looked around and there she is...
The love I thought I've lost.

Our eyes met and time stood still.

I saw her tears fall as I came near, as I touched her face.

No words were needed 'coz everything just fell into place.

And as I leaned towards her for a kiss, a little hand tugged at my jacket.

"Are you my Daddy? Is he Mommy? Is he huh? He looks like my Daddy..."

Her beautiful hazel eyes were sparkling.

"Look here... See?"

I knelt down and peeked into her locket.

Inside was my photo from 3 years ago.

Looking at her was like looking in a mirror.

And holding both of my Love's hands against my heart I replied...

"Yes."
