I may have been misread
I may have laughed
In the wrong context
But I apologized
The moment passed
I thought things were alright
Months later they aren't
I'm bruised right on my heart.
But these things are true
Bright and clear
I loved your son
No matter what you hear
He loved me back
Through his fears.
From those deep blue eyes
To his huge feet
I knew for two years
I wasn't the only one
But he was it for me.
I knew what raced through his mind
He could also read mine.
These things never reached you
Because he knew you wouldn't approve
Not until my life changed
I had to stay away
His life ended instead
All of us have found a different path.
He loved his kids
Brother and family
Next in line
I hoped was me.
When he shut himself away
I counted days
Until he came back to me
He left for others
I waited through them
Knowing he would always come back.
Misunderstood
I didn't know him then
Two years wasn't enough
It was too terrible of an end.
